The club would like to ask all players/parents to check the relevant Buckinghamshire Basketball League Fixtures for their team and inform their coach (at least one week prior) at the start of training sessions of their availability for their upcoming games to help the coaches make their team selections.

Buckinghamshire Basketball League Tables will be updated after each game day. 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.
