Primary and high school competitions make a great start

The result of last weeks games will help competition organisers decide if they have the team gradings correct or if some adjustment is needed.  As expected, the fast paced, short duration games added a bit of extra spice to the start of the comps.

CHBA will continue with the system commenced during the summer competitions of levying a "player competition fee" at the start of the competition instead of weekly payments.

Players and parents/carers please note:
If you (player) or your child plays in Primary School competition the fee will ben $130 per player. This fee will cover this week's round robin games, 15 weeks of competition plus the semi-finals/finals games.

If you(player) or your child plays in the High School competition the competition fee will be $160 per player. This fee will cover this week's round robin games plus 15 weeks of competition and the semi-finals/finals games.


We regret we are not able to offer family discounts because, our costs of court hire and referee payments etc. are not reduced when several children in your family play our sport.


First time players or players whose registration expires between July and December will need to renew their registration before they play. Registration runs for 12 calendar months

There are three categories of player.

If you were born on or after 31st July 2003 you are classified as a Miniball Player and annual registration is $65.

If you were born on or after 31st july 1997 but before 31st July 2003 your are Junior Player and annual registration is $75.


If you were born before 31st July 1997 you will need to register as a Senior Player.


If you hold a current registration with another basketball association - for example Bellingen, you will need to pay CHBA an Affiliation fee. For all players no matter what your birthday, this is $35.

This Friday and Saturday will be unusually busy days for CHBA because of the start of new competitions and extra payments to be made. We will be bringing extra staff and volunteers in during these competition days to make things run a little more smoothly, but we ask you to help us by arriving earlier than normal for your game to get the formalities and the payments out of way ahead of the start of your first game.

Please show us a little patience while we deal with the high workload.

PLAYERS ARE ABSOLUTELY not allowed to play basketball if they do not hold a current registration.

Players will not be allowed to take the court from August 8th onwards, if they have not paid their competition fee.

CHBA will not be offering extra staff to collect registrations and competition fees after this Friday and Saturday, so to avoid unreasonable delays in future weeks, please take advantage of our extra staff this Friday and Saturday.

Players or Parents who are not able to make their payments this Friday or Saturday can make payments using our online payment option (see the active link on the right of our website) or by visiting the CHBA office Tuesday to Friday 9.00 am to 6.30 pm.

Every player, team manager, parent etc who makes a payment to CHBA should expect to receive a receipt for their funds. If you are not offerred one, please ask. This is your proof of payment and our record of you having paid.

If you are new to CHBA competitions or would just like a refresher, the rules of our competitions are available for download from the website under the the "Resources" tab on the top menu then select "Regulations".

CHBA have Codes of Conduct for Players, Coaches, Referees, Parents and Spectators which are also available on our under the "Resources" tab - please find the time to read the ones relevant to you, but more importantly participate within the spirit and intent of the "Codes".

The Board and staff of CHBA hope you have a bouncing good time participating in our winter Primary School and High School competitions.

May the best team win - but make sure you have a good time and show good sportsmanship.
