01Agreeing to these terms

These terms apply when you visit easthoops.setabyte.com, sign in to the East Hoops player portal, or train with the academy. By doing any of these you accept them.

If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian must read and accept these terms for you. When we say “you”, we mean the player and, for minors, their parent or guardian too.

02Joining the academy

Anyone aged 4 to 26 can apply. You sign in with Google and complete your profile. The academy then reviews your application and, if accepted, gives you an admission number.

  • Give true, current details, including date of birth and a guardian contact for minors.
  • Keep your Google account secure. Activity in the portal under your account is treated as yours.
  • We may decline, pause or end a membership for unpaid fees, unsafe behaviour or a breach of these terms. We will tell you why.

03Health and safety

Basketball is a contact sport. Even with good coaching, sprains, bruises and other injuries can happen.

  • Tell the coaches about any medical condition, allergy, injury or medication before training.
  • Wear proper sports shoes and clothing and bring water.
  • Follow coach instructions at all times. A coach may stop a player from training if it is unsafe.
  • Parents of younger players should drop off and collect on time. We are responsible for players only during scheduled sessions.

In an emergency we will give first aid and contact the guardian. If we cannot reach them, we may arrange medical help in the player’s interest.

04Code of conduct

Train hard, play smart, stay humble. Every player, parent and visitor must:

  • Treat coaches, teammates, opponents, officials and venue staff with respect.
  • Never bully, harass, discriminate or use violence, on court or online.
  • Look after the equipment and the facilities at Webber Stadium.
  • Not attend training under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

05Photos and video

We photograph and film sessions, matches and events and may share them in our gallery, news and on Instagram.

If you or your parent or guardian do not want a player to appear, tell us before or after any session. We will avoid featuring them and remove existing photos on request.

Please only photograph other players for personal use and never post images of other children without their parent’s permission.

06Fees

Monthly fees, payment methods, late payment and refunds are covered on our Fees & Refunds page, which forms part of these terms.

07Using the website and portal

  • Do not upload anything false, offensive or that is not yours, including fake payment slips.
  • Do not try to access other players’ data, admin areas or our systems without permission.
  • Do not copy, scrape or overload the website.

We work to keep the site available but cannot promise it will always be error free or online. We may change or pause features at any time.

08Our content

The East Hoops name, logo, photos, videos and text on this website belong to East Hoops or are used with permission. You may share links and view content for personal use. Any other use needs our written permission.

09Responsibility

We take reasonable care in running training and this website. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for loss or damage we could not reasonably foresee or prevent, or for personal belongings brought to the venue.

Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility for injury caused by our negligence or any right you have under Sri Lankan consumer law.

10Changes and law

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and we will flag major changes in the portal or on Instagram.

These terms are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka. We will always try to sort out a problem by talking first. If that fails, the courts of Batticaloa will decide.
