Team Managers

Every team MUST have a Team Manager

What does the Team Manager do?

You are the contact between the coach/club and the players. It involves:

Team managers must register on Play HQ to receive our communications.
Collecting and distributing the team playing tops pre-season
Getting all parents onto a team app (Team app/Whats app) to notify of game and/or training changes (game time and court)
Liaise with parents to agree on a suitable training day and time. Once confirmed book the training court accordingly, when advised by our court’s coordinator.
Organise a scoring roster so there is a scorer on the bench each game
Pass on all club communications to all parents in the team.
As stadium scoring is operating, select the players who are playing and ensure the number is correct against the player
Source fill-in players if required
Let the team know when team photos are being taken
Notify the club of the need to forfeit a game or if the team has any game day issues
Collect and return playing tops at the end of the season
On game day, should you or your team experience any issues during the game please report to the Games Controller, Referee Coach or a Perry Lakes Hawks Official.

Working with Children Check

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

Uniforms

We provide player jersey for the season but the player jersey needs to be returned to us in good condition at the end of the season.

Lost jerseys will incur a $50 replacement cost.

Our player shorts can be purchased on our website SHOP or on Play HQ upon registration into the team before the season starts.

Please note: All players in the team must be correctly attired by Week 2 of the season. The penalty for incorrect uniform is three game points per player for U12 and below and five game points per player for U14 and above being awarded to the opposing team. Officials reserve the right to prevent a player from participating in a game if they deem an item of clothing to be dangerous, eg, shorts with pockets. Points must be awarded before the conclusion of the half-time period.

A new player is allowed one week to conform to the uniform rules.

Compression garments can be worn if they are skin-tight and are black, white or the same colour as the playing uniform.

When collecting uniforms, we require details of the purchase and proof of payment.

If uniforms (shorts/hoodies etc) are ordered prior to team bag collection at the start of the season, then the uniforms will be placed in the team bag for team managers to distribute to players.

For further info on uniforms, please email [email protected]

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/

Complete all details on the form and submit. Once the form is submitted, the relevant parties will automatically receive an email notification, and the individual who submits the form will also receive a copy of the email.

Can I request a bye?

With over 400 teams in the competition, Hawks are unable to offer BYE request, we are sorry for this inconvenience.

Can I request a change in time for a game?

With over 400 teams in the competition, it is a real effort to change fixtures, and it causes issues for courts, umpires etc. It creates a lot of work, SORRY but Hawks can no longer offer change in game timings.

There are no set game time periods for specific age groups, all age groups could play at any time. Please check fixtures on Play Hq website or ‘MY HOOPS’ APP.

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.
