TRYOUT PROCESS

At McKinnon Cougars, our tryouts are made of two phases called “Phase 1 - New to Rep” and “Phase 2”.

Phase 1 Tryouts is for all athletes that are new to representative basketball in particular age groups. The age groups participating in Phase 1 Tryouts for 2025 are:

U12 GIRLS, U14 GIRLS

U12 BOYS, U14 BOYS, U16 BOYS

Those successful in Phase 1 will be selected and invited to attend Phase 2 Tryouts, which is with current or external representative athletes that require a permission to train from VJBL. The main reason for the split is due to the HIGH DEMAND in these age groups, it is not possible for us to facilitate appropriate tryouts with the limited court spacing. Please note, that not all age groups participate in Phase 1, only those listed below.
