Registration

Welcome to the Registration page for The Ripley Valley Thunder Basketball Club. We look forward to having you on our team!

RVBC Summer Season 26/27

Who's ready to #BringTheThunder for Summer Season 2026/27


Big changes ahead - Please Read Fully

This season, IBA moves to a Summer/Winter structure. The summer season will run officially from October through until March. Due to the break between seasons, we will be starting the season a little early with grading games commencing 24th August.  


As the summer season finishes in March, age groupings will be based off the age players turn in 2027, meaning most players move up a division 4 months earlier (October rather than January).

 

Please ensure you read all of the information provided in our terms and conditions below before registration.


Players must be fully paid or have commenced an approved payment plan through our Majestri website before your player will be placed into a team. If you have not done this, your place may be given to another player on the waiting list.


Please note our registration process has TWO steps that must both be completed prior to being able to take the court. Basketball Connect Registration WILL NOT be available until August. Links will be sent out once available.
