What to do if you do not have enough players to take the court:
A team may use a fill-in player if they are short on players, but approval must be obtained from Y Sports. Players can only be brought up from a lower grade or lower age division, and they cannot be used from the same division. Once approved, the player's name is added to the scoresheet and marked as approved.
Under no circumstances are teams meant to request this from the referee at the game.

Before the Game

The coach, manager, or co-ordinator should email Y Sports with:

• Team name
• Division and age grade
• Reason a fill-in is required
• Name of the proposed fill-in player
• The player's current team
• Confirmation that the player is coming from a lower grade or lower age division

Y Sports then reviews the request and confirms whether the player is approved.

Communication

As we move into the Round Robin phase of the season, competition communications regarding draw changes, defaults, and scheduling updates will be sent directly to team managers and coaches. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please contact your school or club coordinator first. They will liaise with our admin team where required.

Thank You

We would like to thank all players, coaches, managers, referees, volunteers, schools, clubs, and whānau for their ongoing support of Y Basketball.

We wish all teams the very best for the season and look forward to seeing players develop their confidence, skills, teamwork, and love for the game.

Play hard, play fair, and most importantly, have fun! 🏀
