Training is primarily conducted out of Coatesville Primary School on Monday to Thursdays after 6.00pm, but some training sessions are held at earlier times and at other venues.
Fee refund policy
Registering to play with Moorabbin Magic signifies an ongoing commitment to the Club for the upcoming season. A player withdrawal after registration has closed is disruptive not only to individual teams but the entire age group. It also creates considerable work for the Club’s committee members, all of whom are volunteers.
Therefore, the Club will only refund fees for a season in the following circumstances:
- In all cases – the refund request is in writing and submitted to treasurer@moorabbinmagic.org.
The refund request must include the following details:
- Player’s name
- Parent/Guardian’s name
- Phone number and email contact details
- Current age group and team
- Detailed reasons for the request with any supporting documentation (e.g. medical certificate that describes the injury/illness and states that they player is unable to play basketball or any other physical sport for the majority of the season)
- Bank account details for the purpose of paying any refund.
2. If the refund request is received by the Club within 14 days of registrations for Moorabbin Magic closing – a full refund less the PlayHQ processing fee of 3.49% will be paid.
3. If the refund request is received by the Club other than during the timeframe set out at 2. above – a partial fee refund, in accordance with the table below, will be paid only if:
- the player has been unable to play for a majority of the regular season due to injury and/or illness or if the family moves away from the area and it is no longer practical for the player to continue playing for Moorabbin Magic
- the request is received by the Club prior to the commencement of the final round of the season in which the injury/illness/move occurred. No consideration will be given to refund requests if the request is received after that time.
| Number of regular season games played | % refund |
| 3 games or less played | 75% refund |
| 4 to 6 games played | 50% refund |
| 7 games or more played | No refund |
For the avoidance of doubt, if a request for a refund of fees is made other than during the timeframe set out at 2. above, the request will be denied if the reason for the request is other than as set out in 3. including, amongst other things, because of:
- a dislike of the team into which the player has been placed
- a dislike of the allocated coach
- an inability to train at the allocated time/day
- preferences not being met (e.g. not playing with friends or in a particular Division)
- a dislike of the team’s allocated Division
- other sport/social/work commitments of the player
- a change of mind by the player or the player’s parents
- suspension or expulsion from a team by a player who violates/ disregards any rules in the relevant Code of Conduct.
