TEAM NUMBERS vs PLAYERS THAT SUIT UP
For Junior games, there can be 12 players per team, however only 10 can be named on the game sheet and “suit up” each game. For seniors, there are 14 players allowed per team and 12 able to be suited up per game.
DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING SQUAD PLAYERS
Some Coaches may have chosen players that they believe have potential for future representative teams and to harness the players’ enthusiasm they may have chosen players as either Development Players or Training Squad Players.
Development players pay half the amount of fees as Representative Players, will attend all games and training sessions with the rest of the team but will only receive limited court time in games. The amount of time depends on the games, the number of players suited up already and other factors such as suitable position on the day, all of which is up to the Coach’s decision.
Training Squad players do not pay any fees and attend all training sessions. They are asked to attend the home games (not any away games) and will not take the court in any of the games.
VENUELOCATIONS
All homegames willbe played at HawkesburyIndoor Stadium–16 StewartSt,SthWindsor (entry via Greenhills Way).
The venueisrun by YMCA, as such we are bound by theirrulesincluding-NO ALCOHOLon the premises. Alistof othervenueswill besupplied and all info including draws and locations is also available on an app (details to be supplied).

PLAYER BEHAVIOUR
All representative players are expected to behave in an exemplary manner that presents the Hawkesbury Association in a positive light. Listen and cooperate with your Coach. Work hard for yourself, your Coach and your team. Play by the rules, never argue with an official. If you disagree talk to your Coach and allow them to deal with the issue.
Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials of other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted in basketball. Be aware that three technical fouls placed on a player is an automatic suspension for the offending player.
Be a good sport. Acknowledge all good plays and treat others as you would like to be treated.
SPECTATOR BEHAVIOUR
All spectators are expected to behave in an acceptable manner without using any bad language, showing respect to players, officials, Coaches and other spectators. Any breaches to the Spectator’s Code of Conduct could result in spectators being removed from games and even banned from particular Basketball Associations. Please ensure you are a good role model.
COACHES EXPECTATIONS
All Coaches are volunteers and are putting in their spare time to Coach our representative players. Players are asked to respect them at all times, be committed to put in their effort in all team training sessions games, and to be open and honest with their Coaches including disclosing any injuries or restrictions.
PRESENTATIONEVENING
Apresentation eveningwill be heldaroundSeptemberfollowing thecompletionof boththeJuniorandSeniorcompetitions. Asmallfeewillberequiredperhead,detailswillbeconfirmed during the season.
DOOR TAKINGS
All stadiums will collect money for door entry fees. Parents of players at Hawkesbury home games will not be charged entry but additional adult will be charged $3.00. A parent for each team will be asked to provide door duty during the time they are present for the game (normally half an hour before the game and half an hour into the game).
SENIOR TEAMS MENTORING
The HDBA are wanting to create a positive culture amongst all the members, and look to all Senior Representative players to help foster this culture. Senior Representative players are idolized by Junior players and seen to be role models. HDBA would like to encourage Senior players assist in “giving back” to Junior players by volunteering some of their time to attend some of the junior training sessions or domestic games and provide some mentoring to the junior players. HDBA believe the benefits will be twofold, it will provide a sense of community amongst the Representative teams and it will create an increase in junior spectators and parents attending the senior games. We want to see Senior Representative game nights as the entertainment night of the week, like it can be!
