Registration
Welcome to FBC’s Spring/Summer 2025 REGISTRATION – It’s go time!!
May we have your attention for 90 – 120 mins? The FBC Player Registration process will take approximately 90 mins to complete all steps accurately.
- Tip: If your Player does not have their own email address, it is HIGHLY SUGGESTED to create one. Parent emails can cause registration conflicts across registration systems, including the NCAA.
- Tip: Not sure which FBC Team you are on? Please contact the Coach for which the workouts and practices you have been attending. Reminder: FBC Rosters are formed off of player talent and team position needs, not age. If you do not receive a timely response, please reach out to FBC’s National Director or Administrator.
- Tip: Parent and Player should complete this registration process together. This will help familiarize them with NCAA guidelines, answering general questions as they continue their journey as a college athlete.
The FBC Player Registration process is to formally link players to their Team and list them on the rosters for upcoming tournaments. This process ensures that Branch Directors, Team Coaches and Team Coordinators have corrected and required information for each Player which will help plan and organize final rosters and other basketball activities effectively. Please adhere to the steps below to register. Each year every Player must “refresh their account”. The Player registration process must be completed by March 31, 2025. Thanks!
