Executive Meetings and BHC Annual Reports

- Senior Selection Guidelines

Players applying to be selected to a team within BHC (particularly A and Reserve grades) will be required to make every effort to comply with the senior selection policy (currently being finalised, but use this as a guide).

- Junior Selection Guidelines

The Junior Team Handbook provides a framework for selection and development of junior players and addresses large player numbers in teams, player selection when more than one BHC team is entered into a junior grade, subbing into higher grades etc. 

Players Code of Conduct

1. Play by the rules and Play for Fun.

2. Never argue with an official.  If you disagree, your team captain is the only player who can clarify decisions with the umpire during play.  IHA feedback forms can be completed (available from the white shed).

3. Control your temper.  Verbal abuse of officials or other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted in any sport.

4. Work equally hard for yourself and/or your team.  Your team’s performance will benefit, so will you.

5. Be a good sport.  Applaud all good plays whether they are by your team or the opposition.

6. Treat all players, as you would like to be treated.  Do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of another player.

7. Co-operate with your coach, teammates and opponents.  Without them there would be no competition.

5. Never ridicule or scold a player for making a mistake.  Positive comments are motivational.

6. Condemn the use of violence in any form, be it by spectators, coaches, officials or players.

Where do my fees go????

NOTE: $ figures based on 2009 Senior fee

Back to Top

The following chart provides a snapshot of the 2009 Senior Fee breakdown, separated into various IHA / HQ components and BHC expenses. 

# Volunteer / fundraising requirements apply on a “family” basis rather than an individual player basis, and are based on the senior most registered player in the family. Table 1 provides guidance on the equivalent fundraising effort

# Players fulfilling an advertised  Functional Role (Table 2) are deemed to have fulfilled the Fundraising / Volunteer requirement and are eligible for the fee discounts advertised in Table 2

Example

A family comprising two senior and one junior players must fundraise / volunteer the equivalent of $120 or pay $100 in addition to their total family’s playing fees .  Alternatively, one of the senior players can carry out a Functional Role advertised in Table 2 to fulfil this requirement (and further reduce their fees).

Table 2— Volunteer Functional Roles and Available Fee Discounts

To be eligible for selection to a BHC team, in accordance with our Selection Policies, the appropriate registration forms (links below) must be accompanied by the Junior Fee Deposit or Senior Fee Deposit (cheque, cash or direct deposit via internet banking) prior to season commencement.
