By-Laws SBA Domestic Competition 

A bleeding player must leave the court and may not resume playing until the bleeding has stopped. Blood must be removed from both player, uniform and court before the player can continue playing. 

Each team is responsible for attending to his or her own injured player. If an ambulance is required the player or a team representative must accept responsibility for the ambulance. 

A “Blood Kit” is situated in the referee’s room during competition games. The kit should be used only for the purpose of dealing with spilt blood on the floor or benches by the referees. 

All fingernails must be trimmed to avoid injury to other players. Tape or gloves may be used instead of cutting nails. 

All jewelry, watches, necklaces, earrings, hair accessories and rings must be removed or taped so as to prevent injury. 

Only Mentone Mustangs registered players, Coaches & parents who are in a supervisory role during training sessions are covered by Basketball Victoria's Insurance Policy. So all other persons at training sessions (including players siblings or coaches non-Mustangs children) are not covered. Further note: players will not be covered should they be injured while using equipment that is not appropriate to a basketball training session (e.g. if a player falls from the railings at Beaumaris Campus).

All training sessions MUST have 2 adults in attendance (which can include the Coach) should an injury happen one adult is to attend to the injured player while the other adult is to supervise the remaining players. Please use appropriate discretion when attending an injury - a quick phone call to the child's parents to inform them of the injury & ask what action they would like you to implement could save alot of problems.
