Nomination and Trial Information 

In 2023, our Basketball squad will be selected from High Performance trials held by Basketball NSW (BNSW) in Maitland of which we expect many applicants will already be attending. Athletes will be observed by our coaching staff and invited into the HAS squad based on performance at these trials and following the announcement of BNSW selections which in some cases supersede our DAP program (for example SPP Squad).

Athletes will need to ensure they also register with BNSW directly for SPP trials via their website HERE
