2024 Rep trials for U16, U18 and U20 athletes are open for registration. Please read the full article and programme prior to registering to ensure you understand the values of the programme and commitment required.
The CBA is a values centric programme focused on creating great teammates. Great teammates:
Have a team first mentality,
Are hard workers,
Are strong listeners,
Work well with others, and
Have a “Next Play Mentality.”
All players trailing for a CBA team should be aware of these values and be ready to dedicate themselves to them prior to registering for trials.
All other information on Canterbury Basketball Association’s Rep programme can be found below. Please ensure you have thoroughly read all information prior to registering for trials to ensure you are willing and able to make the commitment required.
