PARENTS

• Good behaviour is expected from all Jets players, coaches, parents, and supporters at games and Club events.
• Please support the Jets program and become active in the Club.
• Support the whole team, not just your child(ren) and acknowledge good play from all players, including opposition teams.
• Respect the match officials. Young referees are part of the Willetton development program, and many of them are Jets players.
• Allow the Coach to do their job to avoid confusion in the players's minds (i.e. Don't call out instructions to players). Remember coaches are learning too! If you would like to coach please contact the Coaching Coordinator.
• Complaints should be discussed with the Teams Coordinator.
• Players should arrive at games and training at least 5 minutes prior to commencement. Every minute late incurs a score penalty against the team unable to commence play.
• Undertake your scoring duty according to the roster provided by the Team Manager.

Willetton Basketball has split its juniors’ competitions into six different age groups. To know which age group your child should play in, please refer to where their date of birth falls in the age grouping below. Players are able to play across 2 age groups to allow flexibility with fill ins. You can view these guidelines here.

Coaches

 Team Manager

• Each team requires a Team Manager, although all parents are expected to contribute to the smooth running of the team. This is not an onerous job, and involves checking the score sheet, producing a scoring roster and liaising with the Uniform Coordinator for distribution and collection of the playing tops.
