Fees

Geelong United Basketball (GUB) Registration

All players must be first be registered with GUB and Basketball Victoria prior to playing their first game. Players are not permitted to play without being registered with GUB, as this will result in a forfeit/fine. Registration links will be shared with players/parents upon acceptance into a team. GUB registration fees can be found in the GUB Community Competition Season Information.

Club Registration Information

Club registration fees are required to be paid at the beginning of each season. Compared to other clubs in the region our club registration fees are very affordable. Your club registration goes towards team entries into the Geelong United Basketball competition, uniform purchasing, training venue hire and club administration fees.

Club Registration fees

Junior Players: $40 per season

Senior Players: $45 per season

Player fees are paid electronically at the beginning of each season via PlayHQ.

Training

Our training predominantly takes place at The Geelong Arena in North Geelong across two afternoons at 4pm - 4:45pm on a Monday or Tuesday. Due to capacity on those nights and team playing days, some teams train at Western Heights College on a Saturday or Sunday.

Uniforms

Uniforms remain the property of Vytis Knights Basketball Club. Senior players (18 years and over) are required to pay a $100 deposit bond on their uniform prior to it being issued. Deposit bonds will be held by the club. If the player leaves the club and the uniform is returned in a reasonable condition, the player will receive their deposit bond back in full. Unlike other clubs in the region we do not require you to purchase uniforms outright, a huge cost saving when deciding on a club to join and also helpful as children grow. Junior players do not have to pay a bond, however if unable to return the uniform in a good condition when leaving the club an $80 replacement fee may be charged to cover the cost of replacement.

We have an expectation that players representing the club are dressed appropriately to ensure we maintain our club image, club branded merchandise is available for purchase in our Knights Store.

Communication

All players are encouraged to join our club community and follow our Facebook and Instagram accounts to keep up to date with club news. A team representative or coach will add players to their team group communications. Players should ensure they respond when requested or contact their team rep with queries.
We will email from time to time with club updates and event details.

Player Conduct

We have expectations that players, coaches, parents and spectators representing Vytis Knights will follow the Vytis Knights Codes of Conduct. Joining the club in any of these capacities is acceptance of these guidelines. As we participate in the Geelong United Basketball association it is also a requirement that all guidelines set out by Basketball Victoria and Geelong United Basketball regarding conduct and behaviour are also adhered to.
