TEAMS, AGE GROUPS AND GRADING
Waverley Basketball competitions are separated into 2 categories:
1) Boys Domestic competition which all boys OR mixed teams can enter, and
2) Girls Domestic competition which is strictly girls only.
For the Summer season 2024/25, the age cut off is 30 April 2025. A player's age must remain under their age group for the whole season. For example, a U10 player must not turn 10 before or on 30 April 2025, otherwise they must register for the season as an U12.
Players will be placed in teams according to their age group. Exemptions for playing in an age group other than the one your player is eligible for must be submitted by the Club in writing to WBA for their consideration. Requests for playing in different age groups can be made and will be considered depending on overall numbers and team allocation. NO guarantee is given that your child can play in a different age group. Please send an email to the Club Registrar (glenirisdistrict.registrar@gmail.com) if you are requesting to play in a different age group to that which you would automatically be placed based on date of birth.
Our U12 and U14 girls and boys teams are formed based on skill level, therefore and all players who register for these age groups must attend grading sessions. It is expected that grading sessions will be held in the weeks commencing 19th and 26th August. Confirmed dates will be emailed to all players registered in these age groups. More information on our team selection and grading procedure can be found on our Resources page.
