JUNIOR COMPETITION

​​Divisions

To ensure equity in our competitions, there will be a Division 1 and Division 2 in the following age groups for this season (depending on how many nominations received):

​

• Under 12 Boys

• Under 14 Boys

• Under 16 Boys

• Under 18 Boys

​

Team contacts will be required to nominate a division when registering a team. Nominations will then be reviewed by the association who may amend a nomination based on a teams playing group and experience. Teams ​with 3 representative level players should play in the highest division, however this will be reviewed by the board on a case by case basis.

​​​​

Player Looking for a Team

The Expression of Interest form has now closed.  Please email info@basketballwagga.net.au for further information.

​

Scoring

All teams will require a bench scorer. If a scorer is not allocated at the start of the game the team may be penalised.

Courtside scoring will be used from Round 1 of competitions. This is iPad based and replaces the scoresheet. Again, it is imperative that each team supply at least one person to do scoring duties for their game.

​

Team Coach

All teams must have a coach. Coaches are to discuss all inquiries with the striped shirt referee at time outs or at half time. The Referee Supervisor, Court Supervisor or Junior Competition Director can be included in all enquiries to enhance referee knowledge and to improve the game. At no time are coaches, parents or bench officials to discuss the game 

with any of the green shirt referees. This may result in an automatic bench technical foul and or further administrative action. 

​

Coaches (over the age of 18) are to supply a Working with Children Check Number to Wagga Wagga Basketball Association. These details can be added (if known) when completing team nomination online or a copy of WWCC needs to be submitted to the office by round 3 either by email – info@basketballwagga.net.au or screenshot to the WWBA mobile 0447663925.

 

For more information and to apply for a Volunteer Working with Children Check (cost is free) please refer to www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au.

​

Representative Players

To improve the general game, teams may only have a maximum of 3 representative players regardless of the association they represent (this includes representative players from other associations). From a Wagga perspective this includes players from both our Blue and Orange representative teams. This rule applies to both the Autumn and Spring seasons each year e.g if you participate in the 2025 Junior Rep program, you are counted as a rep player for the 2024 Autumn and Spring seasons
