Team Basketball – Molten Basketball

The EDJBA has decided NOT to give each team a team ‘Molten Basketball’. Game balls will be supplied at each venue by the venue supervisor.


Coach

Coaching for the EDJBA is a rewarding opportunity to guide young athletes in their basketball journey. If you’re interested in coaching a team, contact the age group convenor as soon as possible to express your interest.

To ensure a smooth registration process, please complete your registration promptly through PlayHQ. Additionally, all coaches are required to provide a Working with Children (WWC) check and a Statutory Declaration to comply with the association’s safety and legal requirements.

Please note: A coach is only able to coach a maximum of 3 teams in a season.


Team Manager

Every team needs a Team Manager. You have the ability to provide your team with a positive role model while supporting coaches and families. Organising a scoring roster and informing the team of game times are the two most important roles, and they do not require attending every game.

You must register yourself as a Team Manager through PlayHQ:

Uniform Shop & Uniforms

Swap Tops – Montmorency Secondary College

If a player has a singlet number conflict, we can arrange a Swap Top on loan through the admin office at Montmorency Secondary College (Basketball Stadium – Upstairs – Level 1).

In accordance with our club directive, In the event of a number clash within a team, the player who has played for Eltham Wildcats Basketball Club the longest has the option to either:

  1. Retain their number
    or
  2. Change to a different one

Once the decision has been made, the player that is changing numbers will need to bring their singlet to the admin office at Montmorency Secondary College (Basketball Stadium – Upstairs – Level 1) and we will find the appropriate size and number. Once the season is completed you can return the ‘Swap Top’ and we will return the players original singlet.
