ABOUT THE TRYOUTS

What are the Camberwell Dragons Tryouts?

The Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) is the highest level of junior competition in Victoria. Our tryouts are the official selection process for all Camberwell Dragons representative teams for the 2027 season.

Players are evaluated by our elite coaching staff across multiple rounds of assessment, including fundamental skills testing, game situations, and athletic performance. Selection is highly competitive. Please note: EDL team selections are held shortly after VJBL tryouts. Players who are unsuccessful in gaining selection to a VJBL team are encouraged to attend EDL team selections, where they will have the opportunity to represent the Camberwell Dragons in the 2027 EDL season.
