To be a part of the association, juniors wishing to play basketball must submit a nomination form and pay the BWA affiliation fee. Age groups will be determined based on the received nominations, with games typically played on Wednesday nights. The season commences during the first week of term 4.
For seniors, a nomination form must be submitted, along with a team nomination form if participating as a team. Players must be aged 14 years or above, with at least one player under 20 years to encourage a smooth transition from the junior competition. Senior games are also played on Wednesday nights, starting around 6pm.
Fees for juniors cover the BWA affiliation fee, which is paid directly to Basketball Western Australia, and an association affiliation fee. These fees are essential for insurance purposes and ensuring the smooth operation of the club.
Waroona Amateur Basketball Association is committed to providing a positive and inclusive environment where individuals can develop their basketball skills, forge lifelong friendships, and foster a sense of community.
