Team Manager Duties | Wattle Park Website

Some helpful information for Team Managers : Summer 2024/2025 Season

Thanks again for agreeing to take on this important role. The Club could not possibly function without you doing this job. Your participation is essential to keep our players playing and supporting our hard-working coaches.

SEASON COMMENCEMENT

We are all set for another huge season starting Monday 7th October. Training will commence from the week of Monday 7 October. There is no training available on Public Holidays or during school holidays.

If you have any further registrations to be added, let your age group co-ordinater know otherwise they will not appear in the scoring computer. If a player has been missed, they can be added on game day and the Refs will assist.

You should have received your Team Sheets. They may have a few blank numbers - please ensure you let your Age Group Co-ordinator know of these for them to be loaded into the system.

Note – Team Sheets have Coach, TM, player list and training details. They are hard to view on the phone but you can scroll around and see the information you need. Any errors let your AGC know.

TRAINING SESSIONS

Please ensure all players are aware of their allotted training time. A parent MUST be present at each training. No coach should be left to train alone, particularly junior coaches. TMs are not expected to attend every training. A roster is ideal.

Grading: will be for the first 6 weeks of the season.

Finals Qualification: 8 games are required to be played including byes. Players need to be registered into their team/teams to be eligible.

WALKOVERS AND FILL-INS

Please head here for more detailed information on what to do if you find the team short on players for a particular game.

If a team does not field at least 4 players at the start of a given game, then the game shall be deemed a "walkover". Please be aware that in the event of a walkover the team will incur a $140 "walkover fee". It is the responsibility of the team and not the club to pay any walkover fee.

A walkover should be entered into Teammo as soon as possible to give notice to the opposition that there will be no game.

SCORING INSTRUCTIONS

Every family should be assisting with scoring each week on a rolling basis. The best thing is to set up a roster for the season. This usually does not include the TM and Coach.

MATCH RESULTS

To avoid the issues that have occurred during the past seasons in relation to lost results, could all our scorers take a photo of the scores at the end of the game as an additional back-up. It is important to note that this photo must be of the computer and not the scoreboard.

Note – TMs do not have to attend every game, but it is important that someone is appointed to act as TM at any game you cannot attend. This means there is always someone there to deal with any administrative issues, record injuries, assist the coach and note any incidents.

UNIFORMS

Please ensure all your team have an approved Wattle Park Saints playing uniform each. Penalties can apply if you have players without the correct uniform including not being able to play. A uniform consists of club singlet and shorts (No Pockets).

If anyone is yet to receive their uniform, then you need to contact our uniform co-ordinator Bhagya Srinivas at uniforms@wattleparksaints.org.au

FINAL ADMINISTRATION

Can you please forward a Current Working with Children’s Check. (scan or photo) to your AGC as soon as possible. If you are under 18 years of age you do not require a WWCC.

If you do not have a current WWCC. Please apply ASAP – all details can be found https://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/ and please add Wattle Park Saints Basketball Club to your application.
