We love people to join our competition with or without a team, sometimes our teams are short of players and ask do we have anyone looking for a team?

We have partnered with Justplay, who enter teams into our competitions made up from individuals looking to play basketball. They act as your team manager and take care of everything, you only need to show up and play.

Fixtures will be slowly released at the start of the season, this gives us the flexibility to fix any issues.

We kindly ask teams to have patience with us while we work through the process and wait to be contacted.

Teams may pay on game night at the front door with cash/card, or pay online with Teammo. 

Teams who chose to pay with Teammo are able to split the team sheet payment between those who played on the night.

While we understand 10.10pm games are not everyones favourite, however unfortunately we can not take requests to give teams only early games. If one team is given more early games, it will mean other teams will have to play more late games.

Walkovers are not good for the competition, sometimes it can not be helped, however good planing before the season, and some help from friends or family to fill in can go a long way to still having a game go ahead.

If you have to give a walkover click here, the more notice the better for the opposition and the association.

No uniform, no worries we have you covered. Loan uniforms for new teams, existing teams playing teams with the same colours and that occasion you simply left them at home.

See us at the office off court 7, leave your details, a small fee per item unless it a clash of colours and don’t forget to drop them off after the game so we can wash, dry and let someone else borrow them.

Good competition makes for an enjoyable season.

When you register you have the option to put in a requested competition with a reason for the change. This reason will help decide where we put your team and if the change is reasonable, if you wish to send us more information to help grade your team please email us.

Once the season starts if you are getting beaten or easily beating teams we can review the results of the first three rounds.

With the above two options if a position is available and your request is reasonable we can move your team.

Send us a message through the form below or email with the results you think should be up and we are happy to look rectify the problem.

Our officials are all trained to the standards set by Basketball Victoria and Basketball Australia. As officials are people as well they’re not perfect, we understand that and stress that everyone in sport has some understanding.

If you feel like you need to talk to someone about the officiating we have options for that.

Step 1. During your game seek the referee supervisor, substitutes are a good option to get them. Or use the halftime break.

This helps us view the game and see what is happening.

Step 2. If you couldn’t see the supervisor during the game, they’re available to speak to after the game.

Step 3. Only if you haven’t been satisfied with the response in person, feel free to send an email to us with the details.

We again emphasise steps 1 and 2 as the best option to resolve the issue/concern on the night, as it is harder to work through with all those concerned 7 days later.
