Team Selection Policy

Yarrambat Basketball Club promotes:

  • Equal opportunity for all players
  • Participation and enjoyment of the game of basketball
  • Development of basketball and team skill
  • Cultivation of a positive sporting environment

Yarrambat Basketball Club seeks to create teams that allow players to participate in an appropriate age group and grade to enjoy success and realise player potential. The Club aims to ensure all players have a positive basketball experience with an emphasis on participation and enjoyment whilst providing a pathway for those players looking to progress to a higher and more competitive standard.

Team selection is the responsibility of the Boy's and Girl's Co-ordinators in consultation with coaches and the committee. Any requests by players to influence team selection must be made in writing at time of registration. Please note that it is not always possible to fulfil player requests.

Unless prior arrangement has been made with the Club Treasurer, only financial members will be eligible for placement within a team.

Teams will generally consist of 7 or 8 players. On some occasions it may be necessary to place additional or fewer players in a team. Teams with 9 players may only be formed with the approval of the team's coach.

To ensure enjoyment and fairness to all players, teams will be selected by taking into consideration:

  • Player age and experience
  • Player skills and abilities
  • Player dedication and behaviour
  • Overall team balance
