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 teams during the first 4–6 weeks of competition to ensure players of similar abilities compete against each other. While this aims to create balanced matchups, some seasons may still be challenging. We encourage everyone to stay positive, focus on improvement, and set personal goals beyond just results. The club's grading day typically occurs before the Winter Season, often towards the end of the Summer Season or around domestic finals. It's usually held on a Sunday to accommodate everyone's schedules, as most coaches are busy on Saturdays.

You'll be notified of your child's team placement after grading day, once a coach is assigned and their availability is confirmed. Your team manager will initially contact you via email or the Stack Team App to share all the details. For future seasons, teams are finalized towards the end of the preceding season. Your team manager will also provide information on training schedules and other key updates. They should be your first point of contact for any questions.
