The Coach is responsible for:
- Training the team at the allocated training session each week at the venue selected by the Committee.
- He/She is also responsible for leading the game on game day and ensuring the appropriate behaviour of the players and team spectators.
- Training goes for 45 minutes and all players are expected to attend and must ring their coach if they are unable to attend
- Please supply your child with a drink bottle for training
- All players are to bring a basketball to training

The Club policy is that all children have equal court time in grading and premiership games.
Players are graded according to ability and skill and should generally be of around the same level.
TEAM MANAGERS
- Collect the weekly player payments and for making the sheet payment at the venue desk prior to the game each week.
- Keep a record of all money collected each week. Any money left over at the end of the season goes back to the kids, either by refund or breakup party.
- Distributing the Fund-raising chocolates to those team members who are the youngest in each family, collecting the money from the sold chocolates and hand to the Treasurer. This happens once per year.
- Obtaining alternate tops when Eagles play Eagles if your team is the lower numbered team. These are obtained from the uniform offi cer and a deposit is required. This is taken from the team kitty.
- Making a scoring and sweeping roster for all parents in the team. If a parent cannot score then they need to be taught. The Club endeavours to hold scoring nights each season.
It is NOT the Team Managers job to score every week.

The cost per week is $5.00 per player. This is paid to the Team Manager who keeps a record of the weekly payments and outgoings. Any funds accumulated at the end of the season go towards the team break-up.
