EDJBA U08-U14
No Zone Policy
Basketball Australia recommends that a No Zone policy be implemented in all U14 (and younger) competitions. The EDJBA has adopted this policy so there is no playing of a zone defence in U14 age groups and below. If a zone defence is played against you, alert the EDJBA using the Zone Defence Feedback Form or click button below.

BECOME A COACH
We are always looking for more coaches. Coaching is open to anyone 14 years or older.
We take expressions of interest for coaching via PlayHQ. Registration is FREE. Simply complete the season registration, choosing Coach rather than Player, Team Manager or Volunteer. You will be asked for preferences in gender and age group to assist us with assigning coaches.
Coaching experience is not necessary and support is available from the Club.

Season Awards
Coaches are to submit their Season Awards via our online form. Each Coach will choose 2 recipients whom they believe deserve either a Whitehorse, Enjoy, Encourage or Evolve Award. For our U08-11s teams, all remaining players will receive a Teamwork Award.
Please refer to the Season Award Criteria for more information on Mustangs’ award categories.

Player & Team Evaluations
Information provided by Coaches is a valuable resource for our volunteer Team Selection Committee.
Player and Team Evaluations not only provide an opportunity for Coaches to have input into the placement of their players for the upcoming season, it may also be used mid-season to provide updates on the development of a player or players.
