Altona Gators Basketball Club

DEVELOPMENT TEAM TRY OUTS!

Looking for the perfect introduction to representative basketball?

The Gators Development Program offers young players the opportunity to join the Gators family, train with experienced coaches and participate in tournaments throughout the year — without the full commitment of a representative team.

Players will train once a week on Sunday mornings and participate in 3–4 tournaments throughout the year, usually held across long weekends.

TRY OUT DETAILS

📅 Sunday 18 & Sunday 25 October 2026
⏰ 11:00am–12:00 noon
📍 Altona Sports Centre

For players born in 2017, 2018 or 2019.

Players who trial for our Under 12 representative teams and are not selected may also be invited to attend Development Program tryouts, if age eligible.
