These rules are subject to change periodically by the Executive Committee, subject to the approval of the Members.

Individual Membership is subject to –

1) approval by the Club’s Executive Committee.

2) the Member remaining up-to-date with payment of subscriptions.

3) prompt payment of any fines imposed by the Club Executive Committee, Webba Area or other body with jurisdiction.

4) compliance with reasonable directions given by Executive Committee or Executive Officers.

Membership confers the right to –

a) train at open training sessions, and training sessions for the Member’s allocated squad

b) be considered for selection for teams for matches

c) attend and vote at the Club AGM, and in other matters proposed by the Committee

d) stand for election as a Club Officer at the AGM or at the invitation of the Committee

e) participate in other events organised by the Club

Members will generally be assigned to a team. This will be the team they will normally play for.

Members are responsible for ensuring that they let the team coach / secretary / manager know in advance if they are not available.

Members have differing levels of commitment to training. The Club will endeavour to reflect this in the allocation of individuals to appropriate teams.

Members (other than nominated Referees) will be expected to table officiate at least 2 games a season for club teams other than their own team, in accordance with the rota of duties or other mechanism established by team secretaries.

Members are responsible for club property whilst in their possession and may be liable to disciplinary action in the event of loss.

The Club does and will subscribe to the Fair Play Charter (or similar successor document) published by England Basketball, and Members are expected to support the goals contained therein.

Members represent the Club when they are playing for the Club, training, or participating in other Club activities. Members are expected to maintain the highest standards of conduct in their interaction with match officials, team-mates and coaches, opposition players and officials, spectators and the public.

The Club publishes from time to time its Code of Conduct, and this puts particular emphasis on

treating match officials with proper respect, even when players feel that a decision has gone against them. Recognising that the game suffers from a serious and worsening shortage of qualified match officials, the Club will take disciplinary action against Members who are consistently or seriously disrespectful of match officials. Such action may include fines, suspensions, or more serious sanctions. Such disciplinary action may well escalate in the event of repeated transgressions.

The Executive Committee may take disciplinary action against any member accused of misconduct. In the event of Gross Misconduct (which includes, but is not necessarily limited to violent conduct, dishonesty or bringing the Club into serious disrepute) the Executive Committee can terminate the membership of the Member without notice. In such a situation, the Member would retain the right of appeal set out in the Club Constitution.
