2023 Junior Representative Trials

Do you have what it takes to roar with the Tigers? Junior Representative Trials for the 2023 season will be held at the Shoalhaven Indoor Sports Centre during the first three weeks of Term 4. Trial cost is $30 and includes all three weeks and all SBA domestic players are invited to attend.

• Complete the online registration and payment of $30 by Sunday 9 October.
• Arrive 15 minutes early and be ready to go on court at your appointed start time (see dates and times below).
• Bring a basketball (correct size for your age), drink bottle, and any personal equipment (strapping, puffer, etc).
• Wear your reversible Tigers singlet or non-representative reversible singlet.
• DO NOT wear representative uniforms or clothing (SBA, IAS, BNSW etc).
• Trials are closed to spectators so parents/guardians should drop off and pick up players.
• A mandatory information session will be held for parents/guardians in the last 30 minutes of the third trial week.

Players are expected to attend all three sessions for their age group. If unable to attend, please complete the Exemption from Representative Trials form at least 48 hours before your first trial day.

Representative Coaching EOIs have closed and coaches will be appointed before trials. The Coaches for each age group will conduct trials along with 1-2 additional coaches to assist with selection. Teams will be announced within two weeks of trials.

TRIAL TIMES & DATES

AGE BRACKETS FOR 2023

PARENT INFORMATION SESSION

A mandatory information session will be held for parents/guardians in the last 30 minutes of the third trial week. This session is important to ensure you know the commitments of playing representative basketball. It is important to attend even if your child has played previously.

REFEREES

All teams will require a nominated referee to enter and these are in short supply. If you have experience as a referee (recent or past) or would like to learn, please complete the online EOI form. There’s plenty of time to work on your skills before the rep season starts!

Complete the Representative Referee EOI before Monday 26 September.

TEAM MANAGERS

The Team Manager supports the players and coaches by keeping them organised. Every team requires a Manager to nominate. As the Team Manager, you’ll be responsible for liaising with parents around training times and game day arrival times, maintaining the team kit bag, submitting team lists, checking that shirt numbers are correct on the score sheet, and keeping the water bottles flowing on game days. Most Team Managers also identify suitable accommodation for the team to stay together on away weekends and book team dinners while away.
