Many boys in our U14 competition express a desire to move beyond "casual" basketball and try to play at the highest level they are able. To facilitate that, for several years now the Warriors have entered a selection-based U14 team, aiming to bring together the very best players that the Warriors have to offer. This team is chosen by Warriors coaches, based on their knowledge of our players as well as their performance at an open invitation try-out session. The try-outs are not only open to Warriors who will be playing U14 in the upcoming season, but is also open to all players at the CBA who might be interested in joining our club at an elite level. All positions on this team are open for selection every season, and the coming season is no exception.
