Summer Season 2022/23 Registrations
REGISTRATION PROCESS
NEW EARLY BIRD RATE We’ve introduced an Early Bird offer this season! Get in before Friday 26th before 10pm to get a discounted rate for your registrations!!
TIMING Please note that the registration process takes a few weeks. It is very rare that we are unable to find a place on a team for players – if that’s the case we will contact you early in the process to let you know. MEBA require us to submit proposed teams by mid September.
TEAMS WILL BE RELEASED after the current season finishes. The Committee has to find Coaches and Team Managers for each team and walk them through all steps in order for us to comply with our Child Safety Standards – this can take a while! So we ask you to be patient while our volunteers do our best in putting together teams for your players as quickly as we can 🙂

WHO CAN REGISTER FOR DUNKERS?
Dunkers fields teams for U8 – U18 aged players. Please note that 90% of our players attend Donvale Christian College.
PREP STUDENTS –
- We highly recommend that players wait until grade 1 before enrolling in the competitive Saturday programs as for the majority of players, their ability to grasp the basics of basketball isn’t present in most kids aged 5 and 6.
- We do offer a short skills based junior program called Future Dunkers that runs each term 1 and 3 that caters for Preps to Grade 2. Click HERE link below for more information.
GRADE 1 & 2 STUDENTS
- Dunkers prefers all new players in this age group to have completed at least 1 Future Dunkers program or equivalent (Hoops, The Rings and other similar holiday basketball programs) before starting with Donvale Dunkers. Click HERE for more information.
FEES EXPLAINED
1. Basketball Victoria insurance cover fee $26. This fee is an annual fee paid through PlayHQ. BVic have given all participants who registered in Jan 2020 an extra year coverage to Jan 2022 to cover the loss of playing last year, so many are now due to pay their annual fee.
2. Early Bird Rate of $295 Registration Fee per player. We understand that this fee is higher than last season but we are now including Gym hire and Presentation Day costs in the fees. Payments made after 26th August 10PM will pay full price of $310.
Paid via PLAYHQ which covers the following –
Dunkers Club Fee – $76.50
- Covers Coaches Gifts / trophies & medals / Coaching kit and medical supplies / website, operational & admin fees
GYM Hire Fee – $43.50
- All 1 hour training sessions on Monday or Tuesday night at Donvale Christian College.
- Dunkers had absorbed most of the cost of this last season as we transitioned into our new hire agreement with the school
MEBA Fees – $180
- Team sheet fees for 17 rounds – Club pays for Elimination Final and Grand Final
PRESENTATION DAY Fee – $10
Is back this season! Due to overwhelming support, Presentation Day will be held at the end of the season to acknowledge players for their efforts for the season and to honour our volunteers.
