HOW TO REGISTER AS A COACH AND TEAM MANAGER

All coaches and team managers are required to register via PlayHQ

  • Register online with their team in PlayHQ (using the same “team” link that is provided to each team manager at the start of every season by our registrations coordinator”

  • Update your Victorian Working With Children Check (WWCC) and MUST have Mornington District Basketball Association listed as an organisation you are associated with.
Member Protection Form

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.

Working with Children Check 

It is required that all coaches, team managers and committee list both Osborne Utd and MDBA on their WWCC.

FILL INS

If you require a fill in player, you must inform Andrew (registrations coordinator) by creating a private TeamAPP chat with “Registrations/Fill Ins” or email osborneutdregistrations@outlook.com so that the club can track who has filled in for which team, to ensure we are complying with Fill In rules to avoid penalties. If you are unable to source your own fill in, Andrew will also be able to assist you.

Reminder that players are only allowed to fill in for your team TWICE. After this, they either need to register with your team (only applicable if they are don’t already play in a team, or if they are in an age group below) or you need to use a different fill in.

There are significant penalties for any team breaching this rule, including the game being registered as a forfeit and a loss of 12 premiership points. No player is permitted to play under another players name.

Who Can Fill In?

A player can only fill in for a match in the same age group in a higher division than they are currently registered.

Fill in players that are registered in the same age group will not be permitted in grading matches or any finals match.

If a player is registered in a higher age group (than their natural age group), but wishes to fill in for their correct/natural age group they may do so, but must play in the highest and/or higher division than the team they are registered in.

Female players may play in male competition up to and including U14’s

Under 8 rules for fill ins – A player can only be registered for one Under 8 team per season and can fill in for another team in the same age group regardless of division, as there are no ladders or finals in this competition.

Fill in Players are to be paid for, a minimum of 20minutes prior to the match, on Teammo. The team manager or coach must also ensure the fill in player details have the correct name, date of birth and email address entered on PlayHQ. The referees may request to view the payment receipt in Teammo.
