South West Metro Pirates
Basketball
Junior Club Competition
Our Junior Club Competition consists of over 230 teams and is conducted on Friday night and throughout Saturday (which day depends on age group). The competition caters for all experience levels from Under 8 through to Under 19. (For more info about Under 8's see SS Pirateball)
Two seasons are conducted each year, the first during school Terms 1 & 2 while the second is during terms 3 & 4.
Players need to join an affiliated club to participate in our competition. We also have school-based clubs enter into our competitions. Any new player seeking to play in our competition should contact a club from the list below closest to their area. However you do not need to live in the suburb to participate in the club you choose. New players are welcome to join at almost anytime during the season (subject to availability and eligibility rules).

PLAYER TRANSFERS
Any player wishing to change clubs for an upcoming season must have a transfer completed from their previous club prior to doing so. The transfer form can be downloaded here.
Transfers cannot be done mid-season, only between seasons (bar very few extenuating circumstances). Once a player has played a game for a club, including grading, they are locked to that club for the remainder of the season.
