Summer Season changes

A new season is on the horizon! Please read the important information below regarding the Summer 2023/24 season.

A big change has been made to the Beavers game payment policy for the Summer season. At a recent Beavers meeting, it was decided that the club would move to a ‘per season’ payment system (similar to other domestic basketball clubs). There will no longer be game day payments. This change has been made due to a change of policy by the Bendigo Basketball Association.

For the 2023/24 summer season, players will need to pay a one off $150 payment to cover summer season games. This payment is in addition to the $20 club fee paid when registering to your team.

From the Winter 2024 season, the game fee will be added to the club fee and payable upon registration/linking to your team.

We understand that this is quite a big change and a substantial financial outlay at the beginning of the season. We are working on payment options and ask that you discuss with your team manager or email secretary@beaversbasketball.com.au or admin@beaversbasketball.com.au if you need assistance.

We also ask that all coaches and team managers please link to their teams as soon as possible to help us communicate with each team while we make this change.

Fair play code

The Victorian Government recently relaunched the 2022 Fair Play Code, an update of the 2018 blueprint that sets out the standards of behaviour expected of everyone involved in sport and active recreation.
 
At the heart of the Fair Play Code (FPC) are five principles of Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Safety and Fairness. These principles apply to everyone involved in sport in Victoria, no matter what role they play. Bad behaviour, violence, cheating and intimidation has no place in sport and active recreation in our state.
 
With around 2.2 million participants, 980,000 paid staff and volunteers, 12,000 sports clubs, 9,500 community sports facilities, sport and active recreation is an integral part of Victoria’s social life, and we need your help to promote the important messages of the Fair Play Code.

Get ready. Get set…

Bendigo Basketball is back!

Starting Monday, the domestic competition returns to Bendigo Stadium! As games begin, there are a number of procedures that ALL players, parents, coaches and team managers need to be aware of.

ALL PLAYERS NEED TO BE REGISTERED TO THEIR TEAM. If they are not registered, they will not be allowed on court. Coaches or team managers should have distributed Play HQ links to all teams. Please check with them if you haven’t received a link.

All teams need to appoint a team manager. Team managers and coaches also need to register via Play HQ and link themselves to their team (same process as a player, there is no cost to do this).

Entry to the stadium has changed. Teams must wait outside the main stadium entrance and enter 10 minutes before game time. A QR scan is needed as you enter to record your details – this can be done using the camera app on your smart phone. Click here for a short video explanation.

Entry to the courts has been divided into three ‘zones’ Depending on what court you’re playing on, you will need to enter via the right door. Click here for a link to court entry.

NO BASKETBALLS to be brought into the stadium and only one spectator per player. The doors will also be locked after the game start time, so don’t be late!

At game end, please leave the stadium immediately. Bio safety officers will need to clean each court before the next game begins.

Stadium staff have been working extremely hard, under stressful circumstances, to get basketball going again. It’s up to US to make it work by following the procedures above and taking all the necessary precautions. The alternative is no basketball… so while it’s not ideal, let’s give it our best and get back to the game we all love!

Go Beavers!
