SCORING ROSTER AND EXPECTATIONS
It takes a village to raise a child and it is an expectation and part of our registration terms and conditions that you accept and agree to when joining the Aberfeldie Jets that all families volunteer to assist with scoring duties throughout the season. After all, the Coach and the Team Manager volunteer their time to get other people's kids playing, other families can assist with scoring.
The persons fulfilling score-bench duties are reminded that they are deemed to be officials for the duration of the game and should behave in a manner expected of game officials (fair, un-biased etc - Refer to Basketball Victoria code of conduct BV Codes of Conduct). Scorers should be reasonable and respectful in their approach to confirming which players are noted at being at the game or not. Any issue or dispute in the matter will ultimately be decided by the referees of the game on the day.
A blank scoring roster for the Summer 2021-2022 season can be found here.
