The London Warriors are excited to welcome new and returning players for the 2025/26 season. To ensure a smooth and efficient registration process, all players must complete the following steps: attend trials, complete the Warriors-specific registration, and complete PlayHQ registration for league eligibility.

Step One

ATTEND YOUR TRIAL SESSION

Purpose: Trials allow coaches to assess player skills, suitability for teams, and provide feedback for next steps.

Trial Fee: £12 (non-refundable; no cash accepted)

How to Book:

On Arrival:

  • Check in with the club administrators.

  • Wear an appropriate basketball training kit.

  • Bring sufficient water and an energy drink.

Post-Trial Feedback:

Step Two

COMPLETE THE LWBC SPECIFIC REGISTRATION FORM

Purpose: This form collects player details, emergency contacts, kit selections, and payment information for the club.

Annual Club Fees:

  • Annual fees are required to support the operation of the club, including coaching, facilities, and player development.

  • Fees must be paid on time to the Club Bank account (details above).

  • Non-payment will result in the inability to train, play, or have your PlayHQ license unvalidated.

Kit Selection:

  • Select your preferred kit options via the form.

  • Prices for all items are clearly listed in the form.

  • Payments for kits can be made alongside the annual fee or according to the instructions on the form.

Why It Matters:

  • Payments collected via this form are used directly to support club operations, including equipment, training facilities, coaching, and player welfare.

  • Completion of this form ensures your place in the club is fully confirmed.

Step Three

COMPLETE PLAYHQ PLAYER REGISTRATION

Purpose: PlayHQ is the official platform for league registration and licensing. This ensures all players are eligible to compete in both Local League and National League competitions.

Registration Fee: £40 per player

How to Register:

  1. Access the PlayHQ Registration Portal.

  2. Complete all personal details and upload the required documents.

  3. Submit your application.

  • Documentation may include proof of residency, visa, or national ID.

  • The club provides full support throughout this process to minimise delays.

Confirmation & Support:

  • Once registered, the club is automatically notified via PlayHQ.

  • Players should also send a copy of their PlayHQ confirmation for club records:

Step Four

ATTTEND THE CLUB MEETING

Purpose: Once all registration steps are completed, the club will host a mandatory Club Meeting for all players and parents. This is a key opportunity to:

  • Meet the coaching staff and team managers

  • Learn about the season schedule, training times, and match fixtures

  • Ask relevant questions about the team, club policies, or season expectations

  • Clarify kit requirements, payments, and club procedures

Why It Matters:

  • Provides a chance for the club to share important updates and ensure everyone is fully informed

  • Builds a sense of community and team cohesion before the season begins

Attendance is strongly encouraged to ensure a smooth start to the season and to address any outstanding questions.
