For this length of time and at this level of competition each school team requires a coach and a manager.
As a coach you will be required to take a minimum of one training per week and also be available at the games. For team training's the school's facilities would be available for use before or after school. Standard training times are either 7.30am in morning or 3.30pm to 4.30pm after school.
Managers are required to organise the team, ensuring all players and parents/caregivers are aware of game times and trainings and also arranging for a person to do scorebench duty at each game. Ideally the Manager will also attend games to support the coach and team.
Teams will not be entered into competitions unless we have suitable support for the team.
Without parent volunteers it is impossible for teams to participate in the competition so if you are available to assist with either role please tick the appropriate box on the form.

To ensure your child is registered for the college basketball competition, please complete the following form and submit by Friday 5th of March 2021. Please also ensure that the registration fee of $165.00 plus $25.00 Administration Fee is paid by this date.
