BASKETBALL CLUB FEES - AN OVERVIEW
There are 3 seasons (competitions) of basketball for CSBA and 4 seasons for EBL every year.
CSBA:
- Comp 1: Feb – April
- Comp 2: May – August
- Comp 3: September - December
EBL: Works as per school terms.
You can play basketball with Maccabi in one of two ways:
- you can train only; or
- you can train and play as part of a team that competes in either: the City of Sydney competition (run in Alexandria/Marrickville); or the EBL competition (run in Waverley).
At the start of each of the seasons, you need to pay fees to Maccabi Basketball which cover coaching, venue hire, insurance and (if you play competition) team entry into a competition.
In addition to the Maccabi Basketball fees, each player is also required to pay:
Association Registration – CSBA ( Saturday Comp) fee’s. This is completely separate from the Maccabi club fees and needs to be paid directly with CSBA. The link to register is https://membership.sportstg.com/regoform.cgi?aID=7565&pKey=0b7d1e2c4911bdcbd745efd82486c506&formID=54509
What do my Club fees go towards?
The Maccabi Basketball Club is a not-for-profit entity. The club has many expenses in providing the best possible service for its members. Fees go directly to things like:
- Team competition entry fees
- Training facilities
- Coaches
- Insurance
- Equipment
What happens if I don’t pay my fees?
At the start of each season fees must be paid within the first 3 weeks. Failure to pay fees by this time will result in that player being forbidden to attend training or play any further games.
This rule will be strictly enforced.
Why does basketball seem more expensive than other sports?
As basketball is played throughout the year, the associated costs of providing this service (team entry fees, facilities & coaching) are naturally higher than some other sports which may only be played for a season (e.g soccer/netball in Winter only).
In actual fact, when the costs are averaged out based on per month, basketball is quite a competitive option compared to many other sports
