TEAM SELECTION POLICY

Nunawading Kangas Basketball Club is committed to providing a positive, inclusive and enjoyable basketball experience for players of all abilities.

Our team selection process aims to:

•    Place players in teams where they can develop, contribute and enjoy the game.
•    Create balanced teams that support fair competition and appropriate grading.
•    Consider both player development and friendships, recognising these priorities change as players progress through the junior player program.

How teams are selected

Age Group Coordinators consider a range of factors when forming teams, including:
•    The player's nominated preference of Skills & Ability or Friend Request.
•    Skill level and player development.
•    Team balance and competition grading.
•    Coach feedback, attendance and commitment.
•    Competition rules and available team places.

Please note:
•    Friend requests are considered but cannot be guaranteed.
•    Team selections are made in the best interests of all players and the Club as a whole.
•    Requests to play outside of a player's age group are only considered in exceptional circumstances and must meet the criteria outlined in the full policy.
•    Once teams have been announced, changes will only be considered in exceptional circumstances.

The Club asks all players, parents and spectators to respect the team selection process and communicate respectfully with our volunteers at all times.
