Please select which competition and division you register for carefully as once competitions have started, there will be no changing of competitions/divisions.

Competition are by birth year, not school school (Apart from Rising Suns). Example if you are 14 within this year you are eligible to play U15’s, However if you are 14 but turning 15 later in the year you are actually U17’s with 15 and 16 year olds (within the calendar year)

The following factors should be considered when selecting a competition:

• It is suggested that teams that consist largely of players who have not played before or who have limited playing experience should nominate in the lowest division for an age group (e.g. division 2 for girls competitions and division 3 for boys competitions).
• Teams who are experienced or have WABL level players should play in the top divisions for their age group (e.g. division 1 for girls and division 1 or 2 for boys competition).
• The Little Ballers program has changed its name to Rising Suns to help re-establish the program as a development program for children who are new to the game and who want to learn the rules of basketball.

Please note that if there are not enough teams for a competition/division to be considered viable by the Association, teams may be placed in another competition/division at the discretion of the Association.

Limited regrading will be done after round 4 of competitions. In general, teams who have won every game by large amounts may be regraded up to a higher division. Teams who have lost every game by large amounts may be regraded down a division. Other factors including teams played and winning/losing margins will also be taken into consideration.

Regrading is at the discretion of the Association and once done, there will be no further regrading for the season unless deemed an extraordinary circumstance by the Association.
