Hello Team Managers,

Well this season has come to an end in what seems like a rush and we are at the grand finals already. So to wrap things up...

 

Awards

Please contact our president on president.mjbc@gmail.com if your team is doing awards and he will get them organised for you.

Bags / Balls / Cones etc

Please return all property back to Student Services. If you plan to keep the bags for next season, please let our property manager know so you do not get a charge, by emailing them at property.mjbc@gmail.com. All unreturned property will be invoiced on

5 December.

Uniforms

Please reach out to all players and check that they do not have a loan uniform that will incur a charge if it is not returned to Student Services. Please note that going forward, there will be no more manual orders as all uniform orders will now go through Player HQ.  The link will be provided in the registration open email as well as available to order when registering. Contact details for our MJBC Uniform Co-ordinator mjbcuniforms@gmail.com.

Registration Info

Congratulations to all teams playing in the grand finals on Monday and Wednesday this week. I feel this has been a challenging season for many of you team managers and you are all to be commended on the great job of getting a team together every week with very few forfeits.

 

We held trials to begin the process of providing a competitive environment for those boys who wish to play competitive basketball. These were a great success and we have players to fill a Div 1 team for U14, U16 & U18. We also have enough players to fill a Div 2 in U16 & U18 (U14 is also a possibility) so there should be some exciting times ahead and some good competition for the boys. Our intention is to let the successful boys know by the start of next week.

 

Registrations for next year's 2025 Season 1 will open on 1December.

KDBA changes for next year:

1. All teams must register the coach, and if they don't have a coach the team manager must register as a coach; we are asking all team mangers to register as coach. We will assign you as assistant if you don't have a coach. This is so KDBA has a contact at the game in the event there are any issues.

2. Season 2 will see the introduction of transfers effectively meaning you can only play for the one club.

 

As a team manager you last duty for me is to provide me with the following details:

  • Will you be staying on as a team manager?
  • Will your coach be staying on?
  • What players wish to remain with the team?

This assists me with registrations and making sure that we have the right fit for teams, players, managers and coaches and a productive healthy start to next season.

 

I would like to take the opportunity to personally thank each of you for taking on the role of team manager. Team managers undoubtedly make my life a whole lot easier, providing a point of contact and insight into the strengths of your players and team. Without you there is no team and you are a valued and important part of their success in playing basketball, so thank you. As always if you have any further questions or concerns please reach out.

Please return all equipment and bags after the last game on Wednesday, November 20th. Amanda de Serville (wearing an MJBC shirt) will be at the KDBA café from 4:30 PM to 9:00pm to receive bags and check equipment….and hopefully not eating too many hot chips!
