Maitland Basketball Delivers:

MEMBERSHIP FEES

Annual membership has been unbundled, so that the customer can now see where each portion of their membership goes.  

​

Once you find a team, please complete your membership via the form below.  Once you have a current membership, our staff can add you to the team.

There are several factors that affect our membership pricing: Increased direct costs (eg BNSW charges, utilities), CPI Increase and improvements to the quality of our products. 

In 2020, Maitland Basketball remain committed to continuous improvement by:
 

• Committing to an additional employee, whose role will include domestic and referee development, court supervision and development programs.

• Gloryleague game video platform, offering full game video, highlights and stats for all competitions played at Maitland Federation Centre.

• Courtside Digital Scoring App for all competitions

​

Our marginal price increases for memberships and game fees are the first in 4 years.

​

Maitland Basketball continues to offer the most affordable membership and game pricing for Basketball Associations in the Eastern Region.

Junior Competition Game Fee Payment:

​

All junior competition fees will be collected as a per player payment. There are 4 main reasons that we collect per player payments:

​

1. Allows school aged players to take full advantage of the ACTIVE KIDS REBATE

2. Game night staff can focus attention on supervising the courts, rather than collecting fees.

3. Team coaches/managers will not need to collect game fees each week.

4. If players in your team do not turn up for their game, other players are not left paying higher game fees to take the floor.

​

Senior Competitions Game Fee Payment:

​

In 2021 MBA is now collecting all senior social game fees up front. To assist teams make the transition, we are offering 3 payment options for teams:

​

2021 WINTER COMP PRICING

​

1. Full Up Front Payment - $1120 for full competition (due on 1st night of competition - 1st or 2nd March)​

2. 2 instalments = 2 x $560 instalments due 1st March & 1st April

3. 4 instalments = 4 x $280 instalments due 1st March, 1st April, 1st May, 1st Jun

SUMMARY OF KEY COMPETITION BY-LAWS :

FORFEITS

With teams paying up front, we would expect there to be far fewer forfeits (see fill in players below), however if you cannot field a team, it is essential that you notify MBA as early as possible (not later than 12 noon on the day of the game). 

An un-notified forfeit (no show or called in after 12 midday on the day of the game) will result in a forfeit fine of $80 (senior) and $60 (junior) per game forfeited with late or no notification.

​

Please note that with up front game payments for all competitions, it is possible to utilise fill in players in almost all situations, and we would expect that a team should be able to field enough players to complete a game in all situations.

​

FILL-IN PLAYERS

The rules for fill in players will not be affected by this rule, as long as all team members have paid their game fees for the competition.  Please note that fill in players must be a registered member.

​

MBA will continue working to improve the quality of services we offer to our members. If you have any questions or feedback regarding the details above, please do not hesitate to contact us on (02) 9154 4310
