To be eligible to trial for State Champs, athletes must be registered, financial and actively participating in the 2025 CBA Winter and Summer Domestic Competition.
Trials consist of 2-4 tryout sessions, with the made an adjustment to State Champs for 2025, State Titles weekend now opening the State Champs run. To ensure we have sufficient time for Championship division selections and training, all age groups will now commence trials in the last week of the school holidays with team 1 squads to be selected after trial 2 (approximately 15 athletes – final selections to be communicated minimum 2 weeks prior to State Titles).
Exemptions are available for athletes unable to attend Trial 1. The missed trial will still count as one of the two guaranteed trial opportunities.
Cuts will be made throughout the process and communicated to parents and athletes within 48 hours of the tryout session.
All teams are chosen by the CBA talent development co-ordinators, and the appointed lead coach of the age group, in conjunction with the corresponding age group head coaches. For more information on selections, please see CBA WABL Player Selection Policy.
