The WA Basketball League (WABL) is WA's representative junior competition.

Being part of a WA association's WABL program is a year-round commitment starting with selection trials in October, followed by the State Champs tournaments in November/December, then the WABL grading tournament the following February/March and then the WABL season which runs from April to September.

If you miss the selection trials in October, the next chance to try out would be the following October. The maximum number of playing spots each association has available in each gender/age group (i.e. U14 Boys, U16 Girls) is 40. Typically there are 100-150 players competing for these spots.
