29 July 2024 | Bendigo Spirit news

Bendigo Spirit have partnered with RCL group for this weekend’s open try-outs on Sunday 4 August.

Trials will be held in Red Energy Arena in Bendigo from 4.30pm for presentations before a two-hour session on court from 5.15pm-7.15pm.

Spirit head coach Kennedy Kereama hopes to find some missing pieces for the 2024-25 WNBL season.

“I know there is a lot of untapped talent in Australia,” Kereama said.

“These tryouts provide anyone who has the desire or ambition to play in the WNBL, a chance to get looked at.

“We have contracted spots still available but also, we hope to find the best young talent from around Victoria and Australia, and give them the opportunity to develop through our Academy.

“Through the Spirit Academy, we aim to give these young athletes development opportunities through exposing them to the physical and mental demands of professional basketball and high level coaching.”

Athletes wishing to participate in the trial in order to be considered for a rostered spot, development player spot, or a spot in the Academy, should fill out this registration form.
