*Please note, the second trial for both Juniors and Seniors will be for athletes invited to attend following the first trial.  We need to manage numbers due to the anticipated amount of triallists and also court availability, however, we will ensure the trial process is transparent and allows for all athletes to be considered for selection appropriately.

It is important to attend  trials to gain the best exposure to the selectors.  If you are unable to attend a trial you must let us know at least 24 hours beforehand

  • After trials the selected players will break into 2 squads who will continue to train/trial over the next 3 weeks before teams are announced. 
  • If you make it through trials to a squad, you are still not guaranteed into a competitive team.

Preseason runs and scrimmages are also running through the holidays for those keen to get some early practice.  Join the Wellington College Basketball facebook page for updates on this.
