Volunteer help

Without volunteers domestic basketball clubs don't function or run at all.

We encourage parents to get involved in their kids teams and sports as much as possible.

The more helpers we have the better development we can provide our kids.

Fundraising and sponsorship and helping with day to day running of the club takes lots of volunteers to help.

If you wish to get involved with anything at all or have a suggestion or an idea you would like to implement please email Brett at brett@bmbbasketball.com.au

Team managers are advised to create roster for scorers on game day. It is expected that scoring duties will be shared among all parents equally throughout the season. Parents who are available to coach are always welcomed. We will have great coaching development provided on school holidays and during the season on various nights. There is lots of helpful people at the club so dont be shy and make yourself known to us and help make BMB great!

Whilst it is expected that all children who wish to play will also attend training, the club understands that there are other school and external commitments from time to time.

It is important that you communicate this in advance with your Coach and Team Manager in advance ahead of time.

It is also expected that if your childs is sick and stays home from school that you let team manager or coach know in the morning and not 3 minutes before training, coaches have to plan sessions and drills based on having everyone at training so by missing and not giving early notice it effects the entire team. Please be respectful and remember, your coach and team manager are volunteering their time so your child has a team to play in and with.

Training is at Heritage College, 66 Starling Road, Officer.

The PDBA grades all teams over the first 4-6 weeks of competition, with the intention of having kids of similar ability playing against one another to create even competition, this doesn't always pan out and there are sometimes tough seasons, we encourage everyone to do their best to stay positive in these situations and try to find things to get out of the season, like reducing the game margins, showing improvement during the season, or other goals and not be worried on the actual results.

​Club Grading day is usually run prior to the start of winter season when players need to move up age groups. Usually this takes place towards end of summer season is usually around time of domestic finals. Usually held on a Sunday as this is the only time available to hold it in between everyones other commitments and coach availability as most will be coaching on a saturday.

Parents will be notified which team their child will be placed into following grading day and once a coach has been allocated and has decided on their avaialbility.

Your allocated team manager will get in touch with you via email initially and or Stack Team App and all other details will be relayed from your team manager.

For subsequent seasons teams will be finalised towards the end of the preceding season.

​

Team managers will have all the relevant information for training days and times and other important information and should be your first point of contact.
