Nosso Clube, from Limeira, in São Paulo state (SP), will hold a tryout to build its youth basketball teams for the 2027 season. The evaluation takes place on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
Who can take part
The tryout is for players born in 2013 or later. Each age group has its own time slot:
- 9 a.m.: born in 2013 (U14)
- 10 a.m.: born in 2014 (U13)
- 2 p.m.: born in 2015 (U12)
- 3 p.m.: born in 2016 or later (U11)
Where
Ginásio Dr. Waldomiro Francisco (a gym), at Avenida Ana Carolina de Barros Levy, 325, in Limeira (SP).
Registration: confirm before you go
The club announced the tryout on social media, and a website that lists tryouts shared the post. The posts don’t explain how to register. Before you travel, check the club’s official channels to see if you need to sign up in advance, which documents to bring and whether the schedule has changed.
How to prepare
- Arrive early. You’ll have time to find the gym, calm down and warm up.
- Bring the basics. Basketball shoes, practice clothes, a water bottle and a photo ID.
- Go with a parent or guardian. For players this age, clubs often ask for an adult to be there.
- Sleep well all week. Getting ready only the night before doesn’t work.
What evaluators usually look for
At younger age groups, nobody expects a finished player. Coaches look at potential and attitude:
- effort on defense and when fighting for rebounds;
- communication with teammates you’ve never met;
- the right pass instead of a forced play;
- how you react after a mistake;
- focus when the coach explains a drill.
Don’t try to do everything yourself. Keep it simple, run the floor and help the team.
After the tryout
Whether you make it or not, say thank you and, if you get the chance, ask for feedback on what to improve. A tryout is a snapshot of one day, not a verdict on your future. Use what you hear to plan your training for the next few months.
If you’re older, stay tuned: many clubs open tryouts for the next season between the end of one year and the start of the next.
