Duty Statements

Parent Duty Statement

Ensure that players attend training sessions and games. Advise the coach or team manager as soon as you know you will be unable to attend.
Ensure that players arrive at training sessions and games at least ten minutes prior to the starting time.
If the parent is not attending a training session or game, ensure that players are picked up promptly at the finishing time. All junior players (U8, U10 & U12) must be supervised at games by a parent or guardian. For ALL Under 8, Under 10 and Under 12 teams, there MUST be at least ONE parent or responsible adult at training at ALL times to help the coach should there be a problem or injury with a player.
All players MUST bring a full water bottle to every training session and game. This will allow adequate re-hydration that is necessary during exercise.
Where a child has an existing medical condition it is important that the coach be notified. It is important however for parents to realise that the coach has no responsibility for managing or monitoring any medical condition. In such a case we request that parents attend training sessions and games with their child.
Notify coach or team manager if player will not be attending training session or game. Please give as much notice as possible. This is most important for games as the team will be fined if insufficient players turn out for the game (at least 4 must be present to start the game). It is the club's policy that this fine will be paid by the club. The Melbourne East Basketball Association (MEBA) requires 24 hours notice for a "notified walkover" otherwise an "un-notified walkover" fine is incurred.
Parents are also reminded that there is an entry fee into ALL game venues. This is currently $2.50 (for each player and any spectator 12 years of age and over). Note that only one venue entry fee needs to be paid on one day. If planning to visit more than one venue ensure you get a pass-out (stamp) from the first venue.
Parents are expected to take their turn on the scorebench at games. If you are new to basketball please sit with a more experienced scorer who will assist you with scoring. Team managers will roster parents for scoring throughout the season.
Parents of new players (that haven't played in the MEBA before) must ensure that their child is registered properly. All registrations and payment are completed online.
We encourage parents to take an active role in the club by taking a turn to be a team manager or nominating for a position on the committee. All teams require a team manager to email game details and pay weekly team sheet fees which the club gives you at the beginning of the season.
Any parent who has a problem, concern or grievance should privately approach the team manager or coach. If a satisfactory outcome cannot be reached they should then contact their Age Co-ordinator.
Support your team!!
