WEST ADELAIDE BASKETBALL
Junior Trials for 2024/25
External Trials for our 2025/25 Junior District teams will be held in August 2024 - see dates below.
​
These EXTERNAL trials are for players who have not played District basketball with the Bearcats in 2024.
Current District players do not need to trial and will instead be invited to squad trainings (which will be held on Sunday August 25, Sunday September 8 and Sunday September 15; a detailed schedule is HERE).​​​
​​​
West will be entering teams in Basketball SA's Junior District competition and the Adelaide Community Basketball Association (ACBA) competition in 2024/25.
​​​
The 2024/25 District and ACBA seasons each commence early in Term 4 of the school year.
​
Please Note: Players who are invited to squad trainings but who will require a clearance from another club will be advised at the conclusion of squad trainings (well before the new seasons start) if they have been accepted to West Adelaide; players should not seek a clearance until they know they have a spot in a team at West Adelaide.
