From December 1st, 2025, BBNZ have introduced a new PLAYER LEVY – for ALL players participating in basketball activities through the country.  You may read about it, here.

  • PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS – may register directly via your school – please contact your Sports Coordinator.
    Once Sports Coordinators have player information and can confirm teams, BM will enter teams and send registration information.
  • INTERMEDIATE AND SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS – must register and pay your 2025 Levy via the link, here.
    Sports Coordinators will be made Club Coordinators for your School in Gameday.  You will then be able to enter your teams into the League.  Sports Coordinators will then be able to drag and drop players into their correct teams in Gameday.  Players MUST BE REGISTERED and LEVY PAID before they will populate in Gameday.

 An important email regarding TEAM and PLAYER TO TEAM registrations has been emailed to all 2025 school contacts.  If you did not receive this email, please email Tess: competitionsandevents@manawatu.basketball
