1. New to rep basketball?

If you haven't yet played in the Victorian Junior Basketball League for Westgate or another association, it' really important that you familiarise yourself with the commitments of rep basketball and attend a 'new player' tryout if applicable for your age group.  

There will also be parent information sessions during tryout process

Please pay attention to the formats for your age group.  

Each format has been designed to manage the numbers and provide the best opportunities for all athletes participating in the process.

Please also make note of the location of the tryout.  Both courts at RecWest and Whitten Oval will be utilised.

The last session for all age groups (except U18 girls) are for  athletes invited to attend.

We will publish a list of invited athletes on this page after the second last tryout.  Unsuccessful athletes will receive an email notification.

We have introduced this format to allow coaches to better focus on team selections (note, being invited to the last tryout does not guarantee selection)

Due to large numbers and the large administrative effort to manage tryouts, we cannot take any late registrations.

Registration close dates are as follows:

New to rep sessions:

• 15th September, 2024

Remaining sessions:

• 30th September, 2024

• Closed Tryout Sessions: no parents or spectators
• Athletes must wear shorts and reversible singlet or bring an extra singlet light/dark
• No Imperials or other rep team uniforms or apparel to be worn 
• Arrive 15 minutes before your tryout session and not before. 
• Athletes must bring a basketball and drink bottle (labelled)
• Athletes will have their photo and tryout identification number photographed on entry 

It is highly recommended that athletes attend all relevant tryout sessions for them, to provide the best opportunity for selection.

Due to record registration numbers we are unable facilitate alternate tryout sessions.
