🔹 What We're Looking For
We’re not just evaluating skills — we’re building a culture. At South Adelaide, we value:
✅ Coachable athletes – players who listen, learn, and apply feedback.
✅ Hard workers – those who bring energy, effort, and focus to every session.
✅ Great teammates – players who lift others up and play for more than just themselves.
🔹 What Is District Basketball?
District basketball is designed for players and families ready to make a stronger commitment to the game. This includes:
• Two or more training sessions per week
• Weekly District league games across Adelaide
• Potential state-wide and interstate tournaments
• A focus on both personal growth and team success
It’s a step up — and a chance to grow, compete, and connect through the game.
