COVID-19 UPDATE
Dear Jets families,
Below this message is an excerpt from a recent announcement from the Coburg Basketball Association. In short, and not unexpectedly, the Government's announcement early this week has prompted the start-date for basketball to resume to be pushed back to late August (including training). All of us at the Jets are disappointed with this news, but we're also aware that our sport has its bit to do as part of the wider community. The good news is that with an extra-long spring/summer season scheduled, we can still afford to cut a few weeks and still have a very robust and competitive season. Hang in there families and be safe.
As we receive any further updates we will be sure to let you know.
Go Jets!

Dear Northcote Jets Community,
Please see below the following requirements that will apply to the next season:
1. All coaches and Team Managers are to complete the Biosafety training module that CBA will forward to clubs electronically.
FOLLOW THIS LINK, REGISTER AND COMPLETE THE INFECTION CONTROL TRAINING - COVID 19: https://www.health.gov.au/resources/apps-and-tools/covid-19-infection-control-training
2. Each club is required to appoint a Biosafety officer.
3. Paper score sheets will be used instead of digital scoring to minimise cross contamination
4. CBA will sanitise all balls before each game
5. CBA will provide hand sanitizer at each venue
6. Entry in and out of the stadium will be marked for all to observe
7. Registration to Play HQ is encouraged and BV will extend the membership fee to 14-16 months. The club won't open registration until we get some clarity on what the season will look like.
8. It is a requirement to record the details of every person present at training sessions
9. BV are recommending clubs to download the Covid app
10. Coburg will send the Covid safety strategy to outline all measures they are taking to mitigate a breakout. Includes hand sanitation, entry and exit strategy, signage etc.
At this stage, it's not clear exactly when the new season will start. The source of the uncertainty is that current government guidelines dictate that from June 22 only 20 people at a time are allowed entry into the Basketball Stadium at Coburg. Basketball Victoria is seeking clarification on whether the 20 person limit might apply to each of the four courts within the stadium. The member clubs of the CBA will next meet at the delegates' meeting on June 22 to discuss when play might resume. The club will let you know as soon as we have more information about what the season might look like.

SOME TIPS TO STAY IN SHAPE DURING THE SUSPENSION FROM COBURG'S OWN MAGIC MIKE!
As you know, the basketball season has been suspended until further notice. In the meantime I would like to encourage all players to stay in game shape by doing the following:
• Solo runs everyday, 1k-3k. Challenge yourself by timing each run and trying to beat your prior time.
• 30min ball handling sessions. Challenge yourself by time or count.
• If you have a Hoop at home, give yourself a target of no less than 250 MAKES a day. Focus on form, technique and the quality of shots that go in.
Be on the lookout on some training videos going on the our social media platforms real soon.
Please continue to look after yourself and stay safe.
Thanks,
Mike Torres

Stadium Scoring
Laptops are now used for scoring, replacing the old score sheets.
Below is the video link for stadium scoring
https://vimeo.com/162483366.
We encourage everyone to watch this video, so all teams have plenty of scorers available on game day. The instructions are simple to follow. Please be mindful we run a 45 min time schedule for all junior domestic games. ALL PLAYERS NEED TO BE REGISTERED ONLINE BEFORE TAKING COURT. Late points will be awarded if a team delays the game due to not having the laptop filled in correctly, this will occur after the grading phase. Please make sure your coaches and team managers are both aware of this.
If players are not showing up on the team list on the laptop, this means they are not registered in this team.
