Registration to play for Malvern Tigers Basketball Club in the Waverley Basketball Association Junior Domestic 2024/25 Summer Season has now CLOSED.

The summer season commences in week 1 of Term 4 2024, and concludes at the end of Term 1 2025, with a break for the summer school holidays. Refer to the WBA 2024/25 Summer Junior Playing Dates for details.

REGISTRATION & FEES

Registration closed on Sunday 4 August (or earlier in some cases depending on Competition Gender/Age Group limits being met). Only waitlist applications are possible after the closing date – see below. If a place becomes available, players will be invited to register and a Late Fee of per registration will apply. Our fees for 2024/25 Summer season remain at $390 per player, with a sibling discount of 2% or $7.80 (if applicable, this is applied automatically at registration).

Every player is required to have a Basketball Victoria 12-month registration. This $29 fee is automatically applied for new players or for players where it is due to expire during this season. Players are also required to pay a Basketball Australia Game Development Levy. This was introduced on 1 January 2024 and an additional fee of $5.50 per player per year is payable directly to Basketball Australia annually at registration for new players or for players where it is due to expire during this season. This levy goes towards the development of priority areas to support players, coaches, officials and volunteers.

PLAYER NUMBER LIMITATIONS & WAITLIST

We have limits on the number of players/teams that we can register in each Competition Gender/Age Group. Waverley are at team number capacity, and as a Club we are at training court capacity. Once registration closes or the limits are met, we will only accept applications to join our waitlist, using our Registration Waitlist form.

Joining this list is no guarantee that an invitation to register late will be made. This will depend on team number limits in the appropriate competition and age group, numbers of players already allocated to each team (normally 8), and whether any places become available as our team selection progresses and WBA grading games are held.

Players must be under 8/10/12/14/16/18/20 as at 30 April 2025 in order to play in that age group for this season.
