A MESSAGE FROM WANNEROO BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (22 February 2022)

The Wanneroo Basketball Association wishes to advise the latest COVID information and restrictions that affect our association. The WBA is governed by the directives, guidelines, legislation, and regulations given to us by our facility providers/owners, governing bodies and State Government.

We understand that these guidelines will not suit every individual but please understand that these decisions are not ones that are made by the WBA and are enforced by our facility providers and or the State Government. Each venue has made their own decision based on their advice and interpretations. Each venue may have different guidelines.

WABL

Over the coming weeks BWA will work with Associations to confirm arrangements for their venues in relation to conditions of entry and discuss the WABL competition arrangements.

Once BWA are certain of entry conditions for the venues for which the respective grading tournaments are scheduled, they will ensure that all Associations are aware of this.

NBL1 West
Given that proof of vaccination is required for entry to premises serving alcohol, all participants (including players, coaches, and volunteers) and spectators in NBL1 West games will likely require proof of vaccination for NBL1 West games. This will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

* The above information may change at any time pending further venue or State Government announcements or restrictions.

Please follow our website and social media for updates.

We will continue to provide information as it comes to hand, and we thank you for your
