From 1 January 2025, an annual Basketball Development Levy of $5 – $15 (dependent on age) per player was introduced across the country. This is collected by BBNZ, and in collaboration with Associations, will be directed towards a range of key initiatives.

The levy applies to all players in regular season competitions. The levy is paid once per player per year, regardless of how many times they play or how many competitions they play in.

The levy is not paid by coaches, officials, volunteers and administrators, unless they are also registered to play. (To be eligible to play for a Canterbury Representative team, a player has to be playing that season, and therefore needs to have paid the BBNZ levy).

You can find more information about the Basketball Development Levy and frequently asked questions on the BBNZ website here, including the benefits available to members.

Please contact registration@nz.basketball if you have any queries about the levy, or have issues having the levy added to your GameDay account
