🏀 IMPORTANT REMINDER | Basketball Membership Auto-Renewals

With many of our players' Basketball NSW memberships coming up for renewal, we wanted to share a quick reminder about how automatic renewals work through Basketball Connect.

📩 Did you know?

Basketball memberships are set to automatically renew unless you choose to opt out.

Before any payment is processed, Basketball Connect sends 3 automatic email reminders notifying you of your upcoming renewal.

✅ Prefer to manage your own payments?

No problem! You can opt out of automatic renewals and simply renew your membership yourself when it's due.

Basketball NSW has provided a handy step-by-step guide to show you how - in comments below

We encourage all players and parents to check their membership settings and keep an eye on their emails so there are no unexpected payments.

🏀 FIBA 2026 RULE CHANGES – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

With our Spring Junior and Summer Senior competitions tipping off this week, we wanted to share some important updates to the official basketball rules that came into effect on 1 October 2026.

There are a few changes that players, coaches, referees and parents should be aware of!

The key changes include:

🔹 Technical Fouls – New categories determine which technical fouls count towards game disqualification.

🔹 Disruptive & Flagrant Fouls – Updated classifications for different types of illegal contact.

🔹 Act of Shooting – Clarifications around when a player is considered to be in the act of shooting.

🔹 Game Disqualification – Changes to how technical and flagrant fouls accumulate.

🔹 Referee Signals – New signals for identifying different fouls and violations.

📖 Take a few minutes to swipe through these graphics and familiarise yourself with the changes before stepping onto the court this season.

👏 A big thank you to Norths Basketball for putting together this excellent summary!
