Coaches

Every Team MUST have a coach.

Sorry, we do not provide coaches. Please arrange a coach through parents, older siblings, friends or players.

Working with Children Check

If you are over 18 and do not have a child in the team you are coaching, you need to provide the club with a Working with Children card. https://workingwithchildren.wa.gov.au/

How to update Player Jersey Number in Play HQ

Once you have your team bag, your next task is to assign players their jersey’s and note the player jersey number. These jersey numbers then need to be entered into Play HQ before your grading game. It is best to do this the day before the games as it’s time consuming and there isn’t much time to input this information before the game.

This can only be done if:

You have registered on Play HQ as the Team Manager* (or Coach); AND
You have been granted access to your team on Play HQ by the club*; AND
Your team has games fixtured.
*You can check if you are registered by logging into your Play HQ account. Click “My Teams” “[Team Number]” and then “Squad”. If “Squad” doesn’t appear on the menu bar, then you either aren’t registered or don’t yet have access, in that case please contact us.

To add jersey numbers:

Log into the Play HQ Participant Portal.
Click on “My Teams”.
Select the sport and team, eg “Subiaco U12 boys SU262”
Select a game (make sure you select Round 1 game – may not be in order) by clicking on the “>” on the right of the tab.
Select the yellow “Manage” below the team box.
Scroll down to the blue “Select Team” and click on “+ Select Team”.
Select all players, they will then move up to the “Line-Up” above (to add players to the line-up, click the “+” button next to the player you wish to add).
Once players are added to the game, you can enter the jersey numbers for each player in the box beside the player.
Click “Next” and then “Save”

Add ALL your players to the first game and add their player jersey number in Play HQ as the info will be saved for future games. If someone is not playing, then just remove them from the line-up at the game.

Fill-in Player Rules

A player can fill-in for another Subiaco Team but only to avoid a forfeit. A player can only fill-in if they are registered with Subiaco. But teams must comply with fill-in rules, or their game will be forfeited.

A player may fill-in for a team with less than 6 of their regular players eg it a team has 6 of their regulars they don’t need a fill-in. If a team has 5 of their regular players they can have 1 fill-in, if a team has 4 of their regular players they can have 2 fill-ins, if a team has 3 of their regular players they can have 3 fill-ins etc.

However, you must only fill-in for a higher grade (a player in U14 – div C can only fill-in for :- U14 – div B team or a U14 – div A team or U16 or U18). A player can only fill-in for a maximum of 4 games per team in the season before they are required to move up (see Hawks By-Laws 13.5).

NOTE – the number 1,2,3.. attached to the division is just for grouping purposes it is consider part of same division, meaning B1, B2, B3 is all division B.

Once you have arranged the fill-in player(s) you need to add the player(s) to your team line-up on the IPAD/tablet as a ‘Fill-In’ player prior to the game starting. Do not use the absent player’s name. Ensure the correct spelling of their name, date of birth and email address all match to the player’s registered Play Hq account or the game will be deemed a forfeit.

If the team requires fill-in players the team manager can post a message on the relevant What’s App group chat with all details; age group, division, date, time, venue, number of fill-in players required.

For further details on fill-in/replacement player rules see Hawks By-Laws point 12. For a copy of the Perry Lakes Hawks Basketball Association (PLHBA) Junior Competition By-Laws head to the Hawks website – https://www.hawksbasketball.com.au/junior-rules/
