Basketball Victoria licence (insurance)

(1) Basketball Licence

All players, team managers and coaches who wish to participate in the upcoming Winter 2021 season that commences on 12th December 2020 MUST have a Basketball Victoria Licence as this covers your insurance during games and training sessions. You will not be able to take the court unless you have an active licence. This licence is available through the Play HQ website (see link below).

When you purchase your licence, it will be valid for 365 days from that date. If you have already purchased your licence during this year, it will automatically expire in December 2021 regardless of what date it was purchased this year.

(2) Nominating to participate in new Junior Domestic Winter 2021 season

ALL players, team managers and coaches must go into Play HQ and nominate to participate in the upcoming Winter 2021 season which is now available for selection.

Click the landing page link HERE (for Junior competition only at this stage) and this will take you directly into Rupertswood Basketball Club Winter 2021 season. Click Get Started and follow the prompts. If you have an active licence, you won’t be asked to pay again so it will check you out at zero dollars but if you don’t have an active licence, you will be asked to pay the $25 fee (for players only – coaches and team managers are free) as part of the checkout process.

Only after you have completed this process of nominating to play in this season will the Club be able to allocate you to a team.

If you don’t come in via this landing page link above, just search for Rupertswood via the Search feature and you will see a list of any active season to select from under the Club details.

(3) Covid Infection Control Training

As mentioned in a previous post, it will now be mandatory for each Club to provide a Bio Security Officer at each venue while games are being played throughout the season. We believe it doesn’t have to be the same person at each venue all day so we will be asking for volunteers to help out on a rotational basis to assist with adherence to Covid19 regulations during games at every venue. It will be as simple as ensuring hand sanitiser is used, masks are worn and surfaces are wiped down, etc.

As there will be restrictions on children only being allowed to have 1 person accompany them into a venue, helping with the BSO task will guarantee that you can enter and watch the game!

All you need to do is complete a short 15 minute free online course and you will receive a Certificate of Acknowledgement that you are Covid19 trained.

More hands will make lighter work and we won’t have to rely on just the Committee, Coaches and Team Managers to cover this role.

If you do complete this course, please email your Certificate of Achievement to the Committee at rupertswoodbasketballclub@gmail.com.
