WHAT?

The Buckinghamshire Basketball League 2012-2013 Fixtures Schedule has now been released and will be updated with results as the season progresses – the first game day is the 11th November 2012 featuring the U12 Mixed team. League tables will also be updated after each game day. Please bookmark these pages and make a note of fixtures that apply (but note that changes may be posted throughout the course of the season) and let your coaches know your availability for all fixtures in advance to aid team selections. Also, please familiarise yourselves with the 2012-2013 League Rules.

WHERE?

Please note the NEW venue for all games this season (please ensure you have planned the route well in advance of travel):

Aylesbury High School
Walton Road
Aylesbury
Buckinghamshire HP21 7SX

HOW?

All players will be provided with a Scorpions team kit to use on every game day FREE OF CHARGE and will be expected to return it to their coach at the end of each day. Players will be expected to take turns washing the kit and returning it to training the following Saturday. Players who own club t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts are encouraged to wear these to and from games to emphasise club unity and to wear the t-shirts over their jerseys during game warm-ups.

WHEN?

Players are expected to arrive 45 mins prior to the start of the game to allow enough time to complete the team sheet, get changed, warm-up and speak to coaches. Coming early and staying late to support other club age groups is encouraged and is a good opportunity to watch the standard of older age groups or support the next generation!

WHO?

NOTE: Only those players who have done the following will be eligible for selection:

  1. Paid all of their training fees
  2. Paid all of their registration fees
  3. Provided the club with a completed membership form
  4. Provided the club with two passport photos
  5. Provided the club with a photocopy of their passport or birth certificate

It does take time to register players so please do so well in advance to avoid delaying your eligibility for competition. The final decision on team selection rests with the respective team coaches however the club’s philosophy is ‘Basketball for ALL’ and as such it is intended that everyone is given the opportunity to play at some point given the appropriate amount of effort, attendance, punctuality and focus at training sessions. As per League Rules, every player selected is guaranteed at least one full quarter of action without substitution.
