What to know before your first Basketball613 game - best time to play basketball

Game day is the best time to play basketball
Teams are allocated before the game starts, your name will be on the scoreboard, Remember which colour you are on then grab a clean loan jersey from the bag and start warming up! Game day runs the same whether your coming as an individual or bringing your team.
Dirty loan jerseys dumped in the laundry bag before you leave. Basketball jerseys come in S, M, L & XL sizes and can be purchased $35 cash at the game. These are reversible and is all the equipment you will need while playing with us.
Every game you win will be counted as a 'Victory Point'. When you have enough you can exchange these points for free games or other free stuff from the ever growing list!
After the game organisers often upload video for members to see their progress and help identify areas they may want to improve.
We have the right to refuse entry to members who are aggressive and are not playing in sportsmanlike manner without refund.

Basketball Gear
You should bring comfortable sports gear, high top basketball shoes are preferred to protect your ankles. A drink bottle is handy as there may not be time to hunt around for water once the game starts. Towels help keeping sweat down so the ball doesn't slip, especially if your playing more than one game on the day.
