2014/2015 Southern Peninsula Junior Rep Information Pack “Sharks Pride” WELCOME TO THE SOUTHERN PENINSULA JUNIOR SHARKS The Southern Peninsula Basketball Association (SPBA) was formed in 1967. Not long after the SPBA entered a number of junior representative teams in Basketball Victoria’s (BV) junior competition in metropolitan Melbourne, known as the Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL). The SPBA has senior representative teams that compete in the Big V League, third only to the NBL (National Basketball League), in senior basketball. Over the past few seasons there has been considerable growth in basketball across the Mornington Peninsula. This has been demonstrated in the continual growth of our Representative teams. The number and quality of teams continues to grow in both our Girls and Boys program. This information guide will help explain the world of Representative basketball for new families and reinforce the message to those who have been with us for a while. Please read over the following carefully, as much of the common Q&A is outlined within this document. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our players, coaches, and team managers the best of luck for the coming 2014-2015 VJBL season, and also to remind you that you are now part of the Southern Peninsula BA representative program which has a proud history. I ask that you conduct yourself in a manner that continues to see the SPBA develop and be seen as the leading junior representative sporting program on the Mornington Peninsula. Gerard Hillier Basketball Operations Manager Southern Peninsula Basketball Association 2 Information for Players and Parents Playing Representative Level Basketball Junior representative basketball is an elite competition. It is for players who are committed to developing and improving their basketball skills and knowledge. At Southern Peninsula we provide individuals and team’s the opportunity to maximise their potential by competing at the highest level possible, given their own ability. The aim of the Southern Peninsula Junior Rep program is to promote the game of basketball within our community and to develop players. All players in a team at this level have an important role to play despite how much court time each player may or may not receive. Coaches will want all players to develop steadily, not just the best players on the team. Playing Representative basketball is very different to Domestic Basketball. Attitude to your team mates, your coach and your willingness to listen and improve, along with your level of skill are all factors in what will determine the amount of minutes played. All parents to need to be aware of this. The Southern Peninsula Sharks Junior Teams play other representative teams in a competition across Melbourne. Teams play at three levels: Victorian Junior Championship - Known as ‘VC’, this is the highest level at which junior teams can play. Victorian Junior Leagues - Divided into four tiers in 2009; VJL 1, VJL 2, VJL 3 and VJL 4 Regional -There are two competitions: Eastern Qualifying and North Western Shark’s players must continue to participate in the Domestic Competition to be eligible to play representative basketball; this only applies to our U12 and U14 teams. All players that do not play domestic still need to pay SPBA $48 insurance fees as this will cover you for training. Administration will conduct an audit in February and invoice players accordingly. Playing Times & Venues Matches are played on Friday nights ranging from a 6:40 start for the younger age groups through to a 9:40 start for the senior age groups. Venue locations will vary from week to week, however a home game at Dromana Stadium (SPBA’s home court) will typically occur every second week once the Championship season commences. Players are expected to arrive 40 minutes before tip-off. For parents with multiple children, car-pooling has proven a successful option. A list of venues is attached.

Team Managers Duties Each Junior Representative team must elect a Team Manager. The following list details of the duties of a Shark’s Team Manager. Each team will be issued with a team bag at the start of the season. This team 5 bag contains, basketballs, first aid kit, white board and various other items. It is the Team Managers responsibility to ensure all items are looked after and not misplaced. A team manager’s main job is to ensure that the coach “just coaches” and doesn’t have to worry about: Who is scoring Whether there is a uniform colour clash (home team needs to change) and Team Managers should take to each game the following: Drink Bottles (players to purchase) List of player details – name, date of birth, address, phone, parents names (you will be provided with a full set of player registration forms and medical forms that all players and parents fill out prior to registration) Fixture, Scoring roster, List of venues, put all notices received in a folder. These may be handy to refer back to during the season. 1. It is important to support the coach 100%. If any problems with parents or players within the team come about then the coach needs to be aware of what is happening. 2. Be aware that if there is a colour clash the HOME team or, if at a neutral venue the first named team must change colour. 3. Each team must provide a competent scorer. Team Manager should prepare a scoring roster with all parents taking turns. Any parent not confident to score should be given assistance by another parent in the team. The Association will be running a scoring school at the beginning of the season to teach any parent about scoring. *Note: Where teams have siblings please ensure the parents scoring roster covers both siblings and not just the family. This ensures an even spread of scoring turns. The Team Manager pays the team sheet fee at the door (make sure it is stamped ‘paid’ as no team can play until this is done) and completes the Team Score Sheet Ensure that all the relevant details are filled out on the Team Sheet, i.e. Team name, Age group, Division, Date, Venue, Coach’s name and team member’s names and numbers starting with lowest number first and finishing with the highest number. The VJBL issues fines for incomplete score sheets ALSO all players must fill in their name and sign (full signature and not just initials) the back of the score sheet! DON’T FORGET TO COMPLETE! All players must meet a minimum numbers of games to play in the finals and signatures are the only verification of this. The Team Manager must also ensure that the Coaches name has been written on the score sheet. VJBL will issue $10.00 fines to teams that don’t complete this each week. Scoring Comprehensive instructions on how to score are available to parents through the office. Parents are expected to share the scoring duties via a roster that will be made out by the team manager (Refer to Team Manager’s Duties) Court Time Management Representative basketball is considered an elite development program and as such does not operate with the same guidelines as domestic competitions. A basic principle within the representative program is that court time is not guaranteed for any player. There are two key parameters that determine the court time an individual player may receive: 1. The game environment – at the discretion of the coach, playing time is subject to: 6 - The level of competition, The role of the player in each game, and The importance of the game. 2. For clear disciplinary reasons – a coach may reduce court time if the player: - Does not attend all practices, Is not punctual for all practices and games, Does not give 100% effort during games and practices, Does not attend a training session without notifying the coach, and Displays poor sportsmanship towards players, officials or spectators. Players or parents who are concerned about playing time should initially discuss the matter with the Coach or Assistant Coach. If you do not believe the matter has been resolved or you require any further information then you should contact the Director of Coaching, Gerard Hillier. (03 5981 0347) Note: Coaches are to make themselves readily available to discuss any matters regarding to the players within the team. Note II: Please do not approach coaches directly after the game as this is not the most appropriate time to raise your concerns, the best time would be before the teams next scheduled training. Simply text or call the coach and request a quick catch up prior to training commencing.
