Junior Team Trials, Saturday 4 July

Junior Team Trials for the 2026/27 season take place this Saturday at East Norfolk Sixth Form College.

The trials are for players interested in joining the Great Yarmouth Basketball Club junior pathway next season, across our U12, U14, U16 and U18 age groups.

Players do not need to be the finished article. We are looking for attitude, effort, coachability and a willingness to be part of the club.

Trials are free to attend, but players must book their place in advance.

Trial times:

U12 — School Years 5–7
9:30am–11:30am

U14 — School Years 8–9
11:00am–1:00pm

U16 — School Years 10–11
12:30pm–2:30pm

U18 — School Years 11–13
2:00pm–4:00pm

Full trial information can be found on the Junior Teams page, and places can be booked through the club’s booking page.

Men’s Basketball

Men’s Basketball has also restarted this week.

Tuesday Men’s Basketball
Age 15+
7:30–9:30pm

Friday Open Run

Please note the Tuesday Men’s session is now 30 minutes later than last season, allowing the U18 session to run beforehand.

Players looking to play in the Men’s Norfolk League team will move onto monthly team fees once the team programme restarts and squad details are confirmed. Players who only wish to train or attend open runs can continue to book sessions on a PAYG basis.

Sports Hall closure

There will be no sessions from Wednesday 8 July to Wednesday 15 July while the East Norfolk Sports Hall is repainted.

Full Junior Development and Performance Team training restarts from Thursday 16 July.

Men’s Basketball restarts from Friday 17 July.

Please note that ENergize sessions are not currently relaunching.

We know some younger players and families will be waiting for an update, and we will share more information once future session details are confirmed.

Book sessions and trials

All sessions and trials must be booked in advance through Coacha.
