Competition Information

The Eltham Wildcats play on Saturdays in the Eastern Districts Junior Basketball Association (EDJBA) competition. The EDJBA is a large competition, with many grades, and thus has levels suitable for all players. The Saturday competition has two seasons, which run for about 18 weeks. This includes about 6 weeks of grading games and 3 weeks of finals.

• The Summer season runs from October to March with a break in the school holidays. The teams are made up of children who are under 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 years on 1st July before the season begins.
• The Winter season runs from April to September with a break in the school holidays. These teams have children who are under 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 on the 1st January before the season begins.

 

TRAINING TIMES & VENUES

Each team has a weekly 45-minute training session held at a local venue, typically held after 4:00pm from Monday-Thursday. You can list your child's availability on the registration form, however the more available your child is to train, the more likely they are to be placed in a suitable team.

 

PLAYING TIMES & VENUES

Matches are played throughout the day from 8:30am-9:00pm, although as a general rule the younger a team is, the earlier they play. For example, U8-9’s play almost exclusively between 8:30am and 11:00am, although afternoon games for these age groups can sometimes be arrange by request.

Half of Eltham teams’ matches are played at 'home' venues (ElthamHigh School, Montmorency Secondary, Eltham Leisure Centre, Montmorency South Primary and Viewbank Primary), with the remainder played at neighbouring clubs including Bulleen, Doncaster, Balwyn, Ivanhoe, Banyule, Nunawading, and Warrandyte.

UNIFORMS

The Wildcats Saturday playing uniform consists of a Wildcats reversible singlet ($55.00) and any pair of plain black basketball shorts (~$25). Both items can be purchased from the Wildcats Uniform Shop at Eltham High School.
Unfirom Shop opening hours are Wednesday 4:00-7:00pm, Friday 5:00-8:00pm & Saturday 9:00am-3:00pm. 

SPORTS INSURANCE

All players and officials are covered by BV Sports Insurance. However, the benefits, particularly medical benefits, are minor and all participants are advised to take out other health insurance. Parents are expected to supervise young children when at venues or arrange for another parent to do so. Click here for Insurance Information

ENROLMENT AND SELECTION

All children who complete an enrolment online by the due date are placed in a team. Teams are selected at meetings held with coaches and convenors. Late entries are placed on waiting lists and every effort is made to find a team for them. A NEW ENROLMENT MUST BE COMPLETED FOR EVERY SEASON - TWICE A YEAR. Your child will not be placed in a team unless you have completed a registration online.

GRADE CONVENORS

Once enrolled the most effective method of communication is through the Team Manager to the relevant Grade Convenor. To cover the 220 teams the Club has nearly 20 Grade Convenors. Your child's grade convenor's name and email can be found when the teams are displayed aswell as contacting the office to get contact details. This contact is particularly important when it comes to finals.
