SQUAD LISTS | RELEASED 5PM TUESDAY FOLLOWING TRIALS

DETAILS REGARDING SESSION DATES AND TIMES BELOW. 

On behalf of Hills Basketball Association, we would like to thank all players that attended our 2026 Representative Trials. Congratulations to the following athletes who have been selected to move forward in the trial process: 

Thank you to all who attended our Rep Rookies Trials. As trials are ongoing, the team lists will be released at a later date.

What is the Rep Rookie Program? 

U12 Rep Rookie athletes are selected from our Representative trials, as they have been recognised as players of potential and our coaches are excited at the prospects of their development. The Rep Rookie program provides regular elite training sessions and two carnivals to those athletes that were not selected in a Hornets Representative team, but gives them the opportunity to reach their full potential. 

Congratulations to all who were selected. You will receive an email within the week with more details.
