For many of our coaches, it starts with simply putting your hand up to help your child’s team – and before you know it, you are on the sideline with a whistle and a team looking to you! 😄
The 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆 is designed to help first-time and developing coaches build their skills and confidence.
Online learning means you can work through it at your own pace and take some extra knowledge onto the court this season.

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.
