PlayHQ Registrations: To register a child for the first time, a parent will need to initially set up their own PlayHQ account. Once done, a parent will be able to register their child/ren as dependents under that account. It is best to use a personal email that you will use on a long term basis as you will need this to log into your account in the future. When logged into PlayHQ, the link below will go direct to the registration page. Otherwise, sign in and search ‘Warrandyte Basketball’, then click on the ‘Register’ option and then select Summer 2025-26 Season.
