A note on who sets what
​
Some rules are ours. Most competition rules are not.
​
Emerald Lakers sets its own policies, selection, communication and administration. Knox Basketball sets fixtures, grading, eligibility, game rules, finals and venue requirements. Basketball Victoria and Basketball Australia sit above that again. Each document below is labelled with who owns it, so you know who to ask.

Please do not contact Knox Basketball directly about a club matter. Where something has to go to the association, the committee takes it there on the club's behalf. Going around the club slows things down
and can cut across a process already underway.

How the club operates and the standards expected of everyone in it.
Every document is indexed in one category only. Parent and player standards sit under Players and families.
