• Three divisions to enter, corrasponding to 2024 school year levels. Grade 1/2 (2017&2016).  Grade 3/4 (2015&2014).  Grade 5/6 (2013&2012).
• Players can play up but not down a divsion. 
• While club teams are welcome, we also encourage club teams to look at the great rosters run by Basketball United, Greater Western Conference and the southern Tasmanian basketball clubs.
• We welcome primary school teams, groups of friends, Swisherr Jnr. program participants and players that are brand new to the game.
• If entering a team we encourage you to recruit 6 or 7 players per team.  Eight (8) players can mean some players don't a lot of court time and we are all about participation and learning.  Five (5) players can mean if someone is sick or away theres not enough.

COACHES AND REFEREES

• We really encourage parents to coach, score and roll substitutions. This helps the game flow and for players to have a great experience. 
• We will supply referees that will referee as the game is being played. Teaching the fundamentals while the kids are playing!
• Our referees will be drawn from our Program coaches, Swisherr Jnr holiday and after-school program coaches - so if your child has been to those programs they will know the referees already.
• There will be no team training sessions.

PLAYING TOPS 

All players in each team must be wearing the same colour or top, they don't have to be the fanciest basketball top around, they can be simple!

• We will ask players, teams and supporters to subscribe to a code of conduct that reflects these values.

COSTS

• We work hard to keep costs down but we recogise basketball can be expensive.   Please contact us if you are unable to fund the costs for your child.
