Team Selection & Grading

At this domestic basketball level, the Panthers BC try and accommodate all player needs and requests. We find many players wish to be playing in the same team as friends or family, however, from time to time we need to also consider the development of individual players and the overall makeup of the team. We will try to make sure everyone is happy.

Although it’s important to be part of a friend’s first team, it is just as important that we are giving each player an opportunity to be the best they can be. Sometimes that means playing with new players and new teams, in an environment that will see players grow and reach new heights. We want to challenge players to step out of their comfort zone, make new friends and improve their basketball skills.

We will always try and grade our teams to play against the right opposition throughout the season, which is why there is a four-week grading period before the season commences.  If necessary, from time-to-time, CBA will look at results and re-grade teams based on performance.

We ask you to respect the decision of the Panthers Basketball Club and CBA and if you have any queries or concerns contact us on panthersbasketball20@gmail.com to discuss.
