Thanks, Julie McSwiggan Secretary - Rupertswood Basketball Club Contact: 0417 523 156

22.01.2022 Basketball is back!! After a long awaited absence due to Covid19, basketball is finally about to resume! Training will commence on Monday 7th & Wednesday 9th December 2020 on the outdoor courts in Salesian College.... More information will be given to you shortly by your child’s coach. Things will be a lot different this season for both training and games in regards to adhering to Covid19 rules. At this stage no parents will be allowed to step onto a court at training or enter the stadium during training sessions and only one person can accompany a child to a game as each venue will have capped numbers. The new Winter 2021 season will be an extended 22 game season commencing on 12th December, breaking over the Christmas period, then resuming in February 2021. Your coach will be able to give you information on season fees and payment options seeing this will be a larger than usual season. Please note that for any player, team manager or coach to train or take a court during a game, they must have an active Basketball Victoria licence (insurance) which you pay for on PlayHQ (this is separate to the Club’s registration fees). Children’s licences are $25 per year and coaches and team managers are free but they still must register for a licence via PlayHQ. We will shortly provide you with a link in PlayHQ where you will have to go into each child/team manager/coach and nominate for them to play in the upcoming Winter 2021 season but for now, please ensure that they are registered to participate for Rupertswood Basketball Club and have paid their annual fee that covers them for 365 days from when games resume in December 2020 ($25 for children, free for coaches and team manager) for a Basketball Victoria Licence (insurance). If you already have paid for your licence previously, it will automatically expire in December 2021 given the season has been delayed due to Covid19. We are going to need many volunteers this season to assist with adherence to Covid19 regulations during every game at every venue. All clubs must provide Bio Security Officers at each game to assist. To help share the load around each week, we would love for parents/family to complete a short 15 minute free online course and you will receive a Certificate of Acknowledgement that you are Covid19 trained. That way we can always have a BSO present at each game in each venue and not have to rely on just the Committee, Coaches and Team Managers to cover this role. It will be as simple as ensuring hand sanitiser is used, masks are worn and surfaces are wiped down, etc. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page and this website for further details and your coaches will have more information shortly. Get the kids up and about as they will need to be fit to play again!!

16.01.2022 PLAY HQ - SUMMER 2020 season Thank you to everyone that has already registered in Play HQ to help set up teams for the upcoming Junior Domestic Summer 2020 season. If you read the previous post I have just made, there is still no definite starting date due to Covid19 restrictions.... Most people have only nominated their child to play in the Winter 2020 season but we recently had the Summer 2020 season made available to select to play in. Every season, your child needs to be nominated to play in that upcoming season so this will become a regular thing. TO NOMINATE TO PLAY, COACH OR BE A TEAM MANAGER IN THE SUMMER 2020 JUNIOR DOMESTIC COMPETITION, please follow these steps: (1) Log into Play HQ as the primary user - use this link https://www.playhq.com/register/2a8f1e This link will take you directly to the Rupo Summer 2020 season screen. Jump to step (2) below (if you don't come in on the Rupertswood club landing page, Search for "rupertswood" and click onto the Club link that comes up. Then click on the Select option to the right of "Register a player, team manager or coach" under Junior Domestic "Summer 2020 season"). Continue onto step (2) below. (2) Click Get Started and follow the prompts through. You will need to do this for each child in your family. You will be issued with a confirmation invoice for each child for zero dollars if you have already paid your annual Play HQ licence. If you are newly registering your child in Play HQ, you will have to pay the annual $25 fee per child but please ensure you only select to play in the Summer 2020 season option. As a club, we still need to submit teams asap to the SBA and we are using Play HQ registrations to determine who is wanting to play. Your child cannot train or play without this Play HQ licence. If you need any help with Play HQ, please email the club on rupertswoodbasketballclub.org.au. Regards, Sharon

15.01.2022 ***Compulsory changes implemented by Basketball Victoria*** --Basketball Victoria is changing from Sports TG to PlayHQ online system-- ... Dear Families, Last Monday, 24th February, all 12 basketball Clubs in the Sunbury Basketball Association were introduced to a new online platform called PlayHQ by Basketball Victoria. It will replace Sports TG. This is a COMPULSORY condition of registration for all players commencing this upcoming Winter 2020 season. It includes the Insurance component of registration. Yes, we agree that it is really LATE notice After a long emergency committee meeting last week (27th February), Rupertswood Basketball Club have concluded: 1. That our families have no choice but to register ONLINE with PlayHQ ($25/year per child player. $39/year per adult player). 2. It can only be paid by credit/debit card. 3. There may be some teething problems with the PlayHQ program so at this stage, we are keeping the PlayHQ registration separate to our normal registration process. 4. The 5% increase by the Sunbury Basketball Association is locked, so Rupertswood Basketball Club Registration cost has to stay at $180 (even with the insurance component changes). 5. If your child plays for other basketball associations in Victoria (eg: SBA, Jets, Macedon Ranges, Melton) they will only have to pay one time during the March to March timeline to be covered for all (ie: Will not pay the $25 PlayHQ fee for Summer season, unless did not play in Winter). In effect, this equates to $12.50 per domestic season, winter & summer. 6. PlayHQ is not an APP have to bookmark it from web pages. Will be able to get ladders and fixtures from it. Sunbury Basketball Association and Rupertswood Basketball Club are still ironing out the kinks, so will not roll this out to you until after this weekend. When we put the call out to enrol, we really need you to hop ON-LINE within the following week to get it done. Your child will not be able to take the court this Winter unless you have registered. Reminder that the Rupertswood Basketball Club Pre-registration Fee of $80 (non-refundable) deposit and completion of Player form are now due - please pay if you haven’t already done so. (Remaining $100 to be paid by Round 3 of Winter 2020 season). Once again, on behalf of the Rupertswood Basketball Club Committee, apologies for the late notice it has all filtered down very slowly, and our hands are tied. Any questions or concerns so far, please contact myself or Doug (0418 535 751). Good luck, Julie McSwiggan (greyer than last week) & Rupertswood Basketball Committee Secretary 2019/20 Rupertswood Basketball Club Inc Ph: 0417 523 156

12.01.2022 Hi Rupo Families, It’s been a while since you last heard from us. We hope you are all staying well. There is still no definite restart for basketball as yet.... Here is the link to the latest COVID19 update from Basketball Victoria. http://basketballvictoria.com.au/covid-19/ The upshot is, with Winter nights already here, there are very few OUTDOOR venues that could safely be of use to anyone, the team numbers would be small, the time limited, no actual game time, distancing to be maintained and parents required to wait nearby in cars. The 21st June is a week out from School Holidays. We are still unclear how much of previously used indoor spaces would be available to us and what amount of time before and after training sessions would be needed, plus hygiene & cleaning would need to be done between groups. We are still working all this out with Basketball Victoria, Sunbury Basketball Association and Salesian College. Realistically, we cannot see any definite training until school starts Term 3 on July 13th. There will be costs involved, but again we are unsure how this will unfold. Any basketball training, whenever it does officially start, is not available to anyone who has not registered with Play HQ. Play HQ is still open to register if you haven't already done so. Link to Juniors is https://www.playhq.com/register/c1d8b9 Link to Seniors is https://www.playhq.com/register/0249be Any questions, please email us on our "new" club email [email protected]. Stay well, The Rupertswood Basketball Club Committee

12.01.2022 Hope you are staying well, and away from others where able. What a different year this has been so far. No one could have predicted this COVID19 situation, and how it will pan out in the months to come....Continue reading

11.01.2022 Hi all, Basketball could resume in July. The start of the season will be called Summer season with extra rounds but not sure how many yet depends on government allowed start date.... Our fees for this season will be based on rounds played & we will work this out when we know. All players who paid deposits will have this rolled over to new season. All players not returning can contact the Treasurer for a refund. There will also be a change of age so player will go up early if they were meant to in September. We have no idea when seniors will return at this stage. COULD ALL PLAYERS email [email protected] with their name, date of birth & current contact number. We will be using this information to create sides so this MUST be done prior to end of June. Players will also need to register on Play HQ for Summer 2020 season before they can train or play as it is Basketball Victoria insurance. It is $25.00 per year so covers player for 2 seasons. Information about registering to Player HQ is on the club website & a pinned post here on Facebook page. Please contact the club if you have any problems with this. Thank you - Rupertswood Basketball Club

11.01.2022 Very important information in regards to the coronavirus and how to protect yourself :(

11.01.2022 Please see attached image for our free Bring A Friend event!

10.01.2022 Dear Rupo families, It's Pre-registration time again for the coming Winter 2020 season. The whole process really helped last season. Thank you. We have been directed by the Sunbury Basketball Association that fees for Team sheets will go up by 5% in the Winter Season coming. Also, the chocolate fundraiser did not do as well as we hoped last year. This means our fees have to go up by $10 per registration, to $180 each. ... Pre-Registration will happen next week on the 24th and 26th February for the 2 training nights. Non-refundable $80 to be paid before March 10th. (The balance paid by Week 3 of Winter season). If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. We will have EFTPOS machine (credit card or debit card will incur a small extra fee), or will take cash. And yes, there will be a form to complete to ensure your contact details are correct. We look forward to seeing you then, and on behalf of the Rupertswood Basketball Club Committee, thankyou for your understanding, Regards, Julie McSwiggan Secretary 2020 Rupertswood Basketball Club Inc PO Box 258 Sunbury VIC 3429 Ph: 0417 523 156 email: [email protected]

09.01.2022 UPDATE FROM SBA: As we are all aware that this situation is fluid and the circumstances are changing by the day. Last night the board and office met and had to make decisions that were not easy. Each of the topics was discussed at length and none were taken lightly. The SBA also followed the advice from Basketball Australia and Basketball Victoria. We also reached out to the basketball community and would like to thank other associations for sharing information and guidance. ...The SBA has come to the following decisions in the interest of public safety and more importantly the health and safety of our basketball community. Junior Domestic: The finals for the summer season have been canceled. Teams that have finished first and second on the ladder at the end of the last round (round 11 29th February) are deemed to be the premiers and runner-up of the season. No trophies will be issued. Planning and preparation for the 2020 winter season will go ahead as normal. Clubs cut off time are the same and the SBA office will structure the competition and allocate teams as per normal. Senior Domestic: The summer domestic season has been canceled. Flight Path: FlightPath is canceled. Winter registrations will be up by March 31st. Aussie Hoops: Bound by Basketball Australia’s decisions. BA has removed all term 2 registrations online. We will keep you up to date when more information comes to light. VJBL: VJBL games are postponed until at least April 17. Further updates will continue to be provided on a weekly basis Big V: Big V games are postponed until at least April 13. Further league specific communications will follow in the coming days. All Training: Basketball Victoria considers formal or organised team training to be part of basketball-related activities, programs, and events. As such, we highly recommend training sessions are postponed until further notice. For now, we are following the recommendation set by Basketball Vitoria. School Holiday camps: Canceled Tribunal Hearings: All tribunal hearings have been postponed. Thank you for your patience we are doing the best we can. This situation is not ideal and we would like nothing more than to be on the court playing the sport we all love. Chris Tighe General Manager *Please note that updates and amendments will be advised as appropriate to meet the constantly changing situation.

07.01.2022 MESSAGE FROM SBA: Dear Members, In light of the state government announcement this afternoon we will be closing the stadium after scheduled VJBL and Big V training on Wednesday night 08/07/2020 for at least 6 weeks. We understand many of our members are frustrated but we need to do what we can to stop the spread of the virus.... Aussie Hoops: We are awaiting word from Basketball Australia, we will be looking at rolling over registered participants to term 4. If you do not wish to do this please contact Chris via [email protected]. Flight Path Program: This will be reassessed at a later date. Junior Domestic: The SBA is postponing the start of the season for AT LEAST 6 weeks. We will still be running a longer Summer season. Clubs have a little longer to get teams together. Please get in contact with your clubs for more information on how to register. **MAKE SURE YOU CHILD IS REGISTERED IN PLAY HQ SO THEY ARE READY FOR WHEN THE SEASON FINALLY STARTS** VJBL: We are waiting on communication from Basketball Victoria, however, we do not see any more games for VJBL in the 2020 season. In light of this Kennedy and I have been working hard on a fun developmental program to be open to all VJBL kids to participate in. We are very proud to be one of the very few associations across Australia who are offering alternatives to representative families. Watch this space. Junior Jets teams are welcome to train tonight and tomorrow night before the lockdown if teams wish. If you do not wish to come in for training please notify your coach or if you are a coach please notify the office and your team. Casual Shooting: Boardman is open for casual shooting on Wednesday during the hours of 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Time slots are an hour long and it cost $3 per player to shoot. Please follow our guidelines and enjoy your time back on the court before we go back into lockdown. Sunbury College Kids: If you have not received a text or email from DHHS you are welcome to come in and train tonight and tomorrow. 3X3 Tournament: The proposed date for the 3x3 is the Melbourne cup weekend. More information will come out at a later stage. We are following the guidelines laid out by DHHS and Basketball Victoria. On behalf of the SBA keep safe and healthy. Remember we are in this together and there are plenty of support services available. Please check in on each other by phone or Zoom during this difficult time. Please Wash your hands, keep your distance, and download the COVID safe app. Please STAY AT HOME. Hopeful that we see you all ready to go in the next 6-8 weeks. We will keep you up to date as much as we can during this period. Kind regards Christopher Tighe General Manager
