Note: Players must attend both tryout sessions. If you will be absent for any reason please contact Tim at development@bpba.org.au 

Permission to Train: If you have played VJBL before and your most recent club was not the Bellarine Storm (e.g. Geelong United, Surfcoast Chargers) you will require permission to train from your most recent club before stepping on court at our tryouts. Failure to complete this will result in your child being turned away from the session until this permission is gained. The permission to train form is found on the VJBL website at this link https://www.basketballvictoria.com.au/resources/competition-resources/vjbl

Uniforms: Uniform fittings will take place at the first tryouts session for each age group on either the 2nd or 4th of October. All new players and any current players that require a new uniform must be fitted on this day. Please arrive 30-45 minutes prior to the session start time so fittings can be done prior to the on court component starting. 

Parent information: 

• Parents/family members will be required to sit in the grandstand on court 1 to watch the session to ensure a safe environment on the court for all involved. 
• Please don’t attempt to interact with the coaches or selectors on the day. They will be instructed not to interact with families at the tryouts in the interest of fairness for all athletes trying out.
• Selection panels will consist of experienced Storm coaches and the High Performance Manager. Appointed parent coaches may help run the drills on the court for resourcing reasons but will not be on selection panels or be allowed any input on selections for any age group they have a child in participating in.
