Junior summer season - Changes from Round 6 in some grades This year Basketball SA has introduced changes to the competition structure for the juniors to improve the experience for young players. Division 1 and 2 are now referred to as Metropolitan League and Division 3 and below have been renamed as the District League. The District League will be subject to regarding after Round 5, with teams in the top of a pool advancing to the pool or division above and teams in the lower section of the ladder being regraded to the pool or division below. This system has been introduced to ensure that all teams have an opportunity to play in a competition best suited to their ability.
Be sure to check the draw carefully after Round 5 as teams may have moved pools.
