HOW TO REGISTER A TEAM
(Players without a team go to: Sign Up Centre – Finding A Team):

• Only a team may be registered.
• To register, a team is a minimum of eight (8) players, except for U11 players where the minimum is six (6) players.
• Teams registering with less than ten (10) players (or eight (8) players for
• U11) must be willing to accept additional players assigned by the League.
• In order to register a team, a coach must download the team registration form and complete this form in Microsoft EXCEL or Microsoft WORKS.

• Go to www.vicbball.com
  
  • Click on “Forms” on the left, under signup centre
  • Click on New Team Registration Form (Excel\MSWorks)
  • A Window will popup, click on “Save”. (DO NOT CLICK OPEN or you will see the form but won’t be able to work on it)
  • Choose a location on your computer to save the document
  • Go to the location you saved it, and open it
• When you have finished filling it in, email it to Doreen Meldrum as an attachment. DO NOT copy and paste into an email message as the format will be lost. This will really help the Registrar. However, if you do not have access to Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Works, you may complete the documentation manually by using the Adobe PDF version of the registration form. This form is on the website beside the Excel version indicated above and can be downloaded, printed, filled in manually and taken to Doreen Meldrum in person.

• As well, a coach must complete a player card for each of the players. In 2005, the format of these cards was changed so that the card incorporates the Code of Conduct. The cards may only be obtained at the AGM or from Doreen Meldrum, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . The old cards will NOT be accepted. A Code of Conduct form is no longer required.
• It is the ABSOLUTE responsibility of the coach to ensure the correct age of the player for the division in which his team is placed. Both coach and player will be suspended if there is a breach of the division age rules and a older player plays down as a result thereof.
• At any time a player or a coach may be required to provide proof of age of the player.
• Once the registration forms and the blue cards are complete, the next step is to write a cheque to V&DABA in the correct amount. Only one (1) cheque per team will be accepted. In other words, it is the coach’s responsibility to collect the fees the coach is charging and it is the coach’s responsibility to remit one (1) cheque to V&DABA. If you are registering more than one (1) team, you may submit one check for all the teams. If you are renting gym space, you will need a separate check. See information under Practice Time.
• It is preferable to complete the registration form by downloading it in its Microsoft EXCEL or Microsoft WORKS format. This will allow our registrar to merge the information into our system and save duplication of this work. If you are unable to email this form to the Registrar, then you must produce a CD or floppy disk version of it, which must be included with your registration.
