TRYOUTS

In order to try out for NB Thunder basketball, the student-athlete must:

  • be primarily homeschooled.
  • adhere to the NB Thunder eligibility requirements.
  • classify by their age on August 1 of the current season.
  • register for tryouts, to be held in late September of each year.
  • pay registration cost in full.

NB Thunder is dedicated to providing opportunities to homeschooled students, supported by like-minded families in a Christian environment.

This is competitive "school ball" and we play primarily against other homeschool groups and private schools in the area.  Teams are formed with preference given to building the most competitive teams possible at each division at the time of evaluations.  We make every effort to field as many teams as necessary, confined by the availabilities of field space, the suitability of opponents, and the willingness of volunteers.
