Draft Day.
There will be 2 or more sessions, where players will be put into teams prior to the day based on experience and position (aiming for fairly even teams for competitive trial games).
Players will play several 7min half games in the 2 hour session to display their skills to other team managers and trial operators.
Players may receive an "OFFER TO DRAFT" sheet from another team manager during a session. If they desire to be on that team, they'll respond accordingly and remove from the draft effective immediate.
Remaining players on completion will be allocated into teams by the trial operators.
Teams will be set up to have similar skill levels, then referred onto one of the following competitions:
- Howick Leisure Centre Adult Basketball League (Casual - Monday Evenings)
- Barfoot & Thompson Centre Adult League (Casual - Thursday Nights)
- EBA Men's League at The Y Panmure (Pro - Saturday Midday/afternoons)
