🔹 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.


🔹 The Trial Process

Our trials are structured in three phases:

  • Phase 1: Open to all new and returning players (including SDJBL)

  • Phase 2 & 3: Invite-only based on Phase 1 performance
