UNIFORMS
All players must wear the approved club uniform to play. The uniform consists of an Aberfeldie Jets reversible singlet with a unique number allocated by the club for each team member and a pair of Aberfeldie Jets shorts.
Players who play with Aberfeldie Jets from U10-U19 (girls) or U20 (boys) typically purchase two uniforms throughout their playing career, one upon commencement in the younger years and one in their mid teens. Uniform costs for singlet and shorts is approximately $100. Unfortunately due to the size of the Club and the logistics of volunteers issuing uniforms we do not allow players to choose their own numbers.

MOUTHGUARDS
It is highly recommended that all players wear a mouthguard both at training and games. Although technically basketball is a non-contact sport, accidental contact will and does regularly occur. Each season without fail we have at least one significant oral injury that could have been prevented or reduced in seriousness if the player was wearing a mouthguard. Information on where to purchase a custom made mouthguard locally can be found here.
