To all the dads, grandads and father figures across our basketball community – we hope you have a great day. 💙
The Code is there to help make basketball a safe, respectful, inclusive and enjoyable environment for everyone – whether you are playing, coaching, refereeing, volunteering, supporting from the sidelines or helping behind the scenes.
It applies wherever basketball happens – on court, at training, at events, while travelling and online.
At the heart of it, its pretty simple:
🤝 Treat people with respect
🏀 Play and participate in the right spirit
👏 Respect our referees, officials and each other
💛 Help create a safe and welcoming environment
📱 Represent our game positively online
We encourage everyone in our basketball community to take a few minutes to familiarise themselves with the updated Code.
Because basketball is at its best when everyone feels welcome, respected and part of the game.
