Hello MUBC Members,

These benefits include Saturday morning training sessions, invitations to tournaments, discounted gym membership at UoM, and much more! If you haven’t already signed up for the annual membership, the half yearly membership will cost $50 for UoM students and $90 for non-UoM students. You can sign up for membership by clicking on this link: https://www.melbourneunibasketball.org.au/membership.

ANNUAL BASKETBALL VICTORIA REGISTRATION (New members)
Please note that Basketball Victoria collects a fee of $43 to provide a basic level of insurance to all registered participants, regardless of how many competitions you join in Victoria.

FEE SUMMARY & DISTRIBUTION
MUBC Membership for new members = $50 or $90 (distributed to MUBC)
Uniform set for new members = $70 (distributed to MUBC)
Sunday Team registration = $180 (distributed to the competition organisers)
Annual Basketball Victoria registration = $43 (distributed to Basketball Victoria)
COMMITMENT & FORFEITS
We want to remind you that if you sign up to play for a team, you are committed to your team for the SEASON from October until April. There will only be around 4 weeks break from end of December to start of January; the season does not follow the university semester holidays. If you are unavailable for any dates between October and April, please see email our representatives before signing up.

In the unfortunate event that your team forfeits, MUBC will incur a forfeit fee from the competition which is roughly $100. Each team member is required to contribute $10 towards the fine, therefore, the contribution per player rarely covers the actual cost to the club.

Finally, please note that your MUBC membership must be up-to-date to participate in our training sessions or any of the competitions above. So, take action now – ensure your membership is current!

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact your respective representatives below:
