Times:
Games are played on Friday evenings for most teams, though the U13 teams play on a late Saturday afternoon:
U14s usually play between 4 –7pm
U16s usually play between 5-10pm
Specific times will be allocated by NSBA and the draw for the season is released a week prior to the competition starting.
Training: Training is still to be finalised based on the availability of the players and coaches but it is expected that it will be run on the school outdoor court either before or after school one day a week or possibly on a Saturday.
Coaches will either be a private coach, a volunteer parent or an older student under the supervision of a parent volunteer.
It is a school requirement that all coaching sessions have a parent supervising. All parents may be required to take a turn at supervision.
Uniform: These will be supplied at a cost of approximately $80 per player.
Website: The Northern Suburbs Basketball Association (NSBA) maintains a website with fixtures, results and competition ladders at www.NSBA.com.au.
Duty: At various times during the season two players from the team will be required to do duty, for either the game before or the one after the timeslot they are playing at. Duty involves scoring for the game, not refereeing and will be shared evenly amongst the team members.
Team manager: A volunteer parent will be needed from each team to act as manager. This role involves emailing the team with game times and duty and liaising with the CHS P&C Sports Basketball convenor on any issues that may arise.

You are also committing to learn the rules and being a team player. You may not pull out of your team unless you are sick or injured. If this is the case, you must notify the manager or coach as soon as you realise you cannot play.
