Team Managers
Team Managers role is to keep their teams informed of match schedules (available on the playhq website via a team WhatsApp group. With the assistance of the Team Managers of the other teams that are training at the same time, prepare a parent roster for training supervision. The Team Manager is also responsible for allocating a parent to score at the game each week.
Parent Coach
Parent Coaches are required on Saturdays to coach the team and manage the bench / substitutions. No previous experience is necessary.
SHM Coaches
We are fortunate to have Red Eyes coaching who take all training sessions on school grounds each week.
Supervisors
In addition to Coaches and Managers, each team requires a volunteer parent Supervisor throughout each training session. The roster for Supervision is decided once the season kicks off. To be clear, Supervisors are expected to carry out the following roles and responsibilities:
- Ask the Coaches how you can support them. This applies especially for the Year 1 and Year 2 cohorts.
- Actively participate in training. On top of supervising, it is important that you actively engage and encourage the students.
- Report all behavioural incidents in accordance with the Behavioural Incident Policy.
- Report all injuries, including all head injuries to the Basketball Coordinators. Please also try to notify the child's parent(s).
- If the fire alarm goes off during training, please evacuate the school by following school care across the road to the Church.

Please provide your team name and the date and time of your game in the email.
Team Grading Process
Our basketball program grades all the children from Year 2 to 6 to ensure they play in a team where their team mates are of a similar standard. Experience has told us that children will learn, grow and enjoy their basketball experience more if they are placed in teams where their ability is like that of their team mates.
The grading process is conducted by our Head Coach together with an independent grader for Yr 2 to Yr 6 players. Once the assessment has been evaluated all parents will be advised of team allocations accordingly for the 2025 season.
Players are constantly assessed throughout the season to create a fair and level playing field for our participants. It is crucial that players attend training, show good sportsmanship throughout training and games and display a positive attitude to learning in order to improve their game.
If the head coach observes a player after 3 games of the season during games and training and believes a regrade is required then they may adjust accordingly. This may mean that all teams in that year group will need to have changes made. This regrading will only occur if the Head coach deems this regrade absolutely necessary. Changes will be communicated and then no further changes will be made after round 3 of the competition.
Grading 2025 for Comp 3 2025 Yr 2-Yr 6
Formal grading will take place prior to Comp 3 2025 starting. This grading is important as some children have improved during the season. It also gives any mid-year newcomers who may have missed the previous grading a chance to be graded correctly. Grading schedule TBC.

We do not include uniforms in the cost of our registration fee.
The basketball singlet $42.00 and matching shorts are $35.00.
