2020 Winter Season Entries: Basketball Ballarat
Our return to play is edging closer with juniors pencilled for July 13 start date and seniors July 20. These dates are what we will work towards pending government and state body announcements which may see a postponement or pause during the season.
Our return to play season will be a “lightning Premiership” style competition focussing on being able to return to play and being active. Juniors will play a 10 week season and Seniors 9 weeks concluding the week of 14/9/2020 (finals week).
Each division will be capped at 11 teams for juniors and 10 teams for seniors to allow each team to play once. This maximises playing opportunities for all teams and keeps our season lengths in line as normal.
Game play time will remain as normal with 20 minute halves, with altered rules to be promoted shortly but ultimately we will play games with 2 x 20 minute halves from recommencement.
In the event that the season is forced to pause from more than 2 weeks, the current format will be extended until December 2020. New entries can be accepted in the September holidays or as approved by the basketball office.
All safety measures and cleaning arrangements will be sent to confirmed teams, players, clubs and officials through the Play HQ database. Please note that Basketball Ballarat will ensure all standards are adhered to and measures taken. Ensuring our members are protected and are as safe as possible when playing.
