Thank you for stepping up to support our basketball club. Without your dedication and enthusiasm, our kids wouldn’t have the opportunity to play, learn, and grow through the sport they love. Your commitment is the backbone of our community, and we are immensely grateful for your time and effort.
On this page we provide some resources to help you with your role in our childrens’ sport.
All coaches and team managers are required to register via PlayHQ
Each season coaches and managers must complete and submit a member protection form. These cannot be reused; they must be completed every season.
In the event there is no coach/team manager screened for the team, your match will be forfeited, and you will be required to pay the forfeit fee.
Forms must be submitted through this link – they will not be accepted at the stadium as a hardcopy.
*If coaches are under the age of 18, they will still need to submit a member protection declaration but won’t need to submit a WWCC.
It is required that all coaches, team managers and committee list both Osborne Utd and MDBA on their WWCC.
Enhance your coaching sessions with these detailed training guides from Jr NBA. These resources offer structured drills, skill exercises, and practice plans tailored to different skill levels, helping you foster a positive and productive training environment.
