How do I get a playing number?
Once the player registers and receives confirmation that they have been placed on a team, they must be issued a SABC player number.
SABC SDJBL player numbers are issued by contacting the admin at admin@southadelaidebasketball.com.au
NOTE: Player numbers DO NOT transfer between SDJBL and district competitions. If you are a SDJBL player going into the District competition, you must obtain a District player number. Occasionally, we may be able to issue you with the same number; however, it is not guaranteed.
NOTE: If you intend on purchasing a second-hand uniform, you must first check with the above-listed to determine whether or not the player number is available. If it is available, your number will be registered on our system. If you obtain a second-hand top and do not register the number, you will be expected to change numbers (buy a new top) in the event of a clash with an existing player or any future player.
