Can I register for two teams?
In some limited situations, players may be approved to participate in two teams (for example, U12 and U14). When this occurs, the following applies:
- The player’s primary age group takes priority if games or training overlap.
- If training sessions clash, alternative arrangements may be considered where appropriate.
Please email admin@baysidebasketball.com.au to discuss eligibility.
If approved, an additional registration fee will be applied by the Club Registrar.

How are players selected for teams?
