You only have one club, and within that club can sit a number of teams. Think of a club as being the umbrella that spans across anything and everything that you do, and the teams sit under that umbrella in some shape or form.

Please click on the link below and complete the form to begin registering your club.
We advise that clubs do not purchase any equipment or kits or make reference to being affiliated to Basketball England until a member of staff has been in touch to confirm that the set up of the club was successful on the membership portal. This can take up to 5 working days
.
GAP
The club will be set up on the membership portal. We will then ask you to register a member on the portal and complete the club confidentiality agreement so that they can be given club access. Once an admin has club access, they will then need to pay the club affiliation fee to gain full access to the portal.
GAP
A member of staff will be in touch to discuss other options.
Reason why an application may be unsuccessful:
It does not meet the requirements of setting up a new club
There are already a number of clubs that exist in the area so we will discuss with you about joining up with an existing club instead
GAP
If you are an existing club, in the club area of the portal, you can set up a new team.
If you are not part of an existing club, you will need to follow the steps on becoming a new club first.
