It does NOT matter if you do not have a SA Country reversible, you will be assessed on your performance only. Red and blue reversible singlets are NOT able to be purchased for trials.

- Your basketball notebook
- Any food or drink you need for the day
SA Country Basketball recognise that some players may have previous sporting commitments on this day, in particular local winter season sporting grand finals. SA Country Basketball are aiming to provide some alternative options this year for opportunities to trial, however players who may need to trial on an alternative date must contact SA Country Basketball in advance to discuss.
From these initial regional trials, players will be selected to progress to the centralised trial in Mount Barker/Adelaide where the final FDP/EADP squad will be chosen for 2026/2027.
