Pause and Play

Pause and Play a Basketball NSW Initiative introduced in January 2026 which allows participants to temporarily pause their registrations for when life gets in the way of playing.

Participants who purchase their membership through the Basketball Connect app will now have the power to temporarily pause their membership directly from their phone or device via the app.

Working closely with the technology partner, World Sport Action, Basketball NSW began to shape an idea to the question being asked for years by members "Can I temporarily pause my membership?. Now the answer is YES you can.

Depending on your membership type, you can pause for:

Up to 2 weeks on a 6-month membership
Up to 4 weeks on a 12-month membership

Pausing your membership

Open the Basketball Connect app and Log in
Tap More in the bottom right
Go to My Profile (parents may need to switch the profile at the top to pause their child's membership
Go to My Membership
Scroll to the right on your membership and tap the 3 dots under action, then Request Pause
