Age Group tryouts - Boys

The time is almost here again for Kings to select teams for the 2026 summer season. So we will be conducting tryouts for the age groups listed below. The links below will be used to register for these tryouts, so please use these so we can expect you there. All tryouts will be held on Sunday 14th September 2025. Please ensure you bring drink bottles, reversible tops if you have them, and appropriate basketball attire. Parents are asked not to be in the gym for the designated time during tryouts, please drop off and pick up as necessary unless otherwise specified by the coaches. This has been found to be best practice and the fairest way to conduct tryouts.​

​

Tryouts are generally for Champs/Div1 teams, but those that do not make those teams or are better suited at an easier level will still make a team, so please still feel welcome to attend our tryouts.

​All sessions will be held at Montpellier PS, Mt Pleasant Road, Highton.

hultgren coaching clinics

The SG Kings is proud to offer the following two coaching sessions, to be run by former Supercat player and renowned basketball coach Bruce Hultgren. Session one is from 12:00 noon to 1:00pm Sunday 14th September at the Montpellier PS gym with session two following from 2:00pm to 3:00pm on the same day & location.

​

What you can expect: All club coaches and those wanting to learn are welcome to both sessions, the first session is for basketball coaches of any age and experience. Bruce will run through skills including FocusProShot techniques and basketball drills for junior coaching in preparation for session two later in the day where junior participants will attend and coaches are welcome to return and watch a demonstration of what they have just learnt with junior participants live on court.

​

A small fee for each session (coaches only for session one) is attached to each registration (see below) & you will only be required to register for one or the other, this helps your club fund the clinics.

​

Registrations are open now, so come join in on the fun and learn to coach or learn something new, and for the juniors, come and participate while learning some excellent techniques to improve your game.

​

****Recommended age for junior participants is 11 years to 17 years****
