As it was anticipated we will be commencing the Summer 2022 season this Saturday 6th November, with games at both Eagle Stadium and Manor Lakes.

Teams are near completion, with majority of players remaining within the same core groups as per last season. Announcements have been delayed due to a huge influx of late registrations, so we hope to have team lists release tomorrow afternoon for U10s to U16s.

Please also note the important information below from the WBA Competition Manager.
Return to Sport Update – 3 November 2021

Eagle Stadium:
• Vaccination entry requirements – in line with the current Open Premises Directions (effective 29 October to 18 November 2021), anyone entering Eagle Stadium 16 years of age or over must be fully vaccinated and will be required to show proof of vaccination status upon arrival or provide a medical exemption. Manor Lakes College have also mandated that all persons 16 years of age or over must be fully vaccinated to enter the venue.
• Vaccination Hubs – it is expected that the Indoor Vaccination will be bumped out on November 22 and courts 1-4 will be returned for availability from November 23. Until then courts 5 to 12 will be the only ones available for use. The drive through vaccination hub will remain longer than the indoor hub.
• Car Park/Traffic Flow – significant delays are expected entering the car park at Eagle stadium due to indoor and drive vaccination hubs operating in addition to other users. This will be particularly the case on weekends. We strongly advise you allocate an additional 15-20 minutes to your usual time when travelling to the venue.

Domestic Competitions:
• Restarts – all domestic competitions will re commence from Saturday 6th November
• Venues – at this stage we are able to accommodate all domestic games at Eagle Stadium, and Manor Lakes College on Saturday. If team registrations increase beyond this point, we will communicate accordingly.
• Grading – will occur for the first 3 weeks of the season.
• Size 5 Basketballs – all U8, U10 and U12 matches will use size 5 balls.
• Player Points System – this system will be introduced for the Summer 22 junior domestic competitions
