Hi all,

Due to the extreme heat forecasted for this week, we thought it timely to advise that our climate policy is aligned to that of Basketball Victoria.

We recognise that our weather can be unpredictable and change drastically. We also recognise that we train at multiple venues with different environments.

🏀 If the temperature/stadium reaches 35 degrees celsius, training may be cancelled at the discretion of the coach/team manager. Sessions can go ahead if the stadium is a reasonable temperature and coaches may wish to reduce training to thirty minutes or engage in activities with the players that don’t involve excessive fitness.

Excess hydration is mandatory for all players, including extra drink bottles and breaks between training activities. If players attend training, we also ask that parents do not leave their players unaccompanied during the session, due to health and safety reasons.

🏀 If the temperature/stadium reaches 40 degrees celsius or above, training must be cancelled or abandoned.

Let us know you have any questions.
