Just Play does the job of a very organised team captain. We register your team with the competition, process every player's registration, build the squad, manage the lineup each week and send out game details. The venue or competition partner runs the competition itself.
What we look after
Processing your registration and placing you in a team
Registering your team with the competition partner
Paying the competition's game fees for the season, including any finals
Building the squad and managing the weekly lineup, including finding a fill-in when someone drops out
Sending game details, venue information and uniform requirements, and any changes to them
Selling the Just Play playing top and basketball singlet through the Just Play shop if you need one
Dealing with problems inside the team, including behaviour and inclusion. A Just Play staff member sits in every team WhatsApp group.
What the venue or competition partner controls
We don't run the competition itself. Our venue partners do. These things aren't ours to change, but raise them with us anyway and we'll take them up with the partner on your behalf.
The fixture and your game times, including byes and venue closures
Which venue the competition uses
Referees, umpires, venue staff and the competition rules
Team grading and finals qualification
Uniform rules, such as compulsory shinpads or plain black shorts
Season start delays
Weather cancellations. See Weather: what happens if my game is cancelled or washed out?.
Stadium entry fees. Only two venues charge one: Footscray and Coburg, $3 per player, paid to the venue at the door.
Social events run by the venue
What is on you
Keep your RSVP accurate and up to date, so we can fill your spot when you can't play. See RSVPs: how do I tell you I cannot play?.
Arrive 10 minutes before your game start time.
Share court time with your teammates. See Substitutions: how do subs work, and can I bring a fill-in?.
Be friendly and inclusive. That part is the actual product.
If something is going wrong and you're not sure whose problem it is, message us anyway. Working out who owns it is our job, not yours.
