4D Freight FNBB Term 1 2024
Information For Schools
Welcome back to the 4D Freight FNBB competition for Term 1 2024
Registrations:
Registrations will be slightly different this year, with the school contact required to fill out two google forms. This is instead of the excel sheet for the teams and many other Google forms for other information required by us to set up for the Term of FNBB. There will be familiar questions to help us get teams into the right grades to make it an enjoyable term of basketball.
The initial form will require all schools to provide contact details for the main school contact plus the team name (for us to put on the system) along with the coach and manager. This form will also be asking for the email that invoices should be sent to etc.
All players will still be required to register on the TG Sport site (even if they did this last term/year) via their own accounts (new players will need to make an account first). All players are required to be registered, this is a BBNZ requirement. More info around registrations can be found in the registration document in the DOCUMENTS section.
Registrations for players are required and we need to make sure they are done.
If a player is not registered they will not be eligible to play. If players are having trouble registering using the information on the Registration Information Document please contact [email protected].
We are asking for full team lists to help us ensure players are registered and this is on the team registration form term.
For resources etc for coaches please refer to the CoachMate app information further down the page.
Last date for team registrations is the 16th February
Please find more information about registering teams and players in the Registration document.

Girls Got Game League, GGG: (was originally called Girls only League)
The competition will run with the games being in the first 2 rounds at Mainpower Stadium (depending on # of teams entered). Seeing as though the Girls League has established itself within the FNBB competition there will be a cost to enter a team.
Girls are also able to play in the mixed grade but we need to know if you have players in both the GGG and mixed grade so we can ensure there is a break between games for them.
Cost:
The cost for FNBB teams for Term 1 2024 is yet to be finalised but we will endeavour to have this out to you all asap in term 1! An email will go out letting you know the costs as soon as we have them.

Form for time requests.

Time requests will be considered throughout the season but we will need to be given at-least 1 and a half weeks notice of time requests during the season. Any last minute time requests during the season will not be accepted, this keeps us from having to update the draw multiple times a week.

Draws:
Weekly draws will be posted on the 4D Freight Friday Nights Basketball page and on our website as well as being emailed to all school contacts.
