Within the club's history, Junior National League was always a level of competition the club entered, mainly within the Under 16 and Under 18 leagues. However, for many different reasons, the club hasn't entered a team for 5 years now, but all that is about to change!

The club has decided that for the 2023/2024 season, it will enter an Under 14 and Under 16 team into the Junior National League. National League is a step up both in competition and commitment to the usual Central Venue League the club has run over the last few years. We understand that National League isn't for everyone, which is why the club is dedicated to continuing to provide the level of competition it currently has, whilst adding the National League Team for both Under 14 and 16 age groups.

With this in mind, we'll be hosting two sessions for trials, Sunday 28th May and Saturday 17th of June at our usual venue at Cardinal Newman College. We'd like players to try and attend both sessions to increase their chances of being assessed for the team, but we understand if you can't attend both. Each session will run from 12 noon until 3pm, with the first 15-20 minutes of the trials for both parents and players. This is where we'll discuss the commitments, the expectations and the team's ethos for the coming season. The trials will be completely free for all attendees. National League is available for players who are in current school years 7, 8, 9 and 10

To register your interest for the trials for National League, please email Coach Shaun at prestonbasketballclub@gmail.com with your child's name and what school year they'll be in September 2023. For more information, please contact Coach Shaun via the Pitchero Club app.
