Club secretaries have now been emailed with details on how to access all members that have registered with their clubs. If anyone requires a copy of their licence please contact your club secretary who will be able to print one out for you. Once the technical issue has been resolved BW will reissue individual licences to all members.

Technical Issue - some members after completing payment are reporting that they are not receiving a copy of their individual licences. You are advise to check your Spam/Junk mail folder to ensure the licence has not gone into these folders by mistake. If the licence is not there please don't worry your club will automatically receive a copy of your licence and clubs are being advised to print these out and ensure that they take them to all BW matches, ready for inspection by match officials. If you have not yet registered please continue to do so as Basketball Wales is operating a NO LICENCE NO PLAY policy.

Basketball Wales individual registration for Players, Coaches, Referees, Table Officials, Team Followers/Volunteers and Associate Members is now open.

To register for your individual licence please visit our new registrations portal at www.bwregistrations.com

This new online system allows you to complete your membership in a matter of minutes and you will recive your unique BW licence via email as soon as payment is complete.

Please note that Basketball Wales will be operating a strict NO LICENCE NO PLAY policy this season so please ensure your register in plenty of time.

Before starting the online registration we recommend that you read our 'User Guide' which will help you navigate through the system.

Please note that Basketball wales will be enforcing a strict ‘No licence – No play’ policy for all matches this season.

Basketball Wales requires that each club/person involved or associated with the game of basketball in Wales shall register each season as a registered member of the governing body.

Each year Basketball Wales pays a substantial premium for a policy of insurance providing public liability and professional indemnity cover for the governing body and its registered members.

The benefit of the insurance policy is not available to those who are not registered members.  The implication of this can be very severe.  If a person involved in Basketball in Wales causes or contributes to injury to another, or damage to the property of another, and does not have the benefit of insurance cover, that person can be held liable for the loss or damage caused to another, and would have to pay for the damage or loss including damages for personal injury, from their own resources.

Therefore there is a positive advantage for all involved in basketball in Wales to become registered members, in order to have the protection offered by the insurance policy arranged by Basketball Wales.
