Already registered your child? Check your registration status


If you have already registered your child with Basketball England through PlayHQ, please log back into your PlayHQ account and check that their registration is showing as ACTIVE and not PENDING.


A pending registration may mean that further action is required before the player's Basketball England registration is complete.


You can also use your PlayHQ account at any time to access your child's registration and profile. If you have registered more than one child, their registrations can be accessed through your parent/guardian account.
