Tryouts for Long Island Nets

Posted

The Long Island Nets, the NBA G League affiliate of the Brooklyn Nets, will host their annual local player tryout on Saturday, Sept. 15, at LIU Post, with local basketball hopefuls competing for the chance to earn an invitation to LI Nets training camp in October.

The tryout will feature a variety of drills and scrimmages run by Brooklyn and Long Island Nets basketball operations personnel at the Pratt Recreation Center on LIU Post’s campus at 720 Northern Blvd. in Brookville, N.Y. Check-in begins at 9 a.m. ahead of the 10 a.m. tryout.

Former local player tryout success stories include J.J. Moore, a Brentwood, N.Y., native and 2016 local tryout participant who appeared in 46 games for Long Island last season, and Charlie Marquardt, a former Molloy College standout and 2017 local tryout participant who appeared in four games for the LI Nets during the 2017-18 campaign.

Players interested in trying out should visit longislandnets.com to begin the registration process. Participation is limited to the first 150 applicants who submit the $175 non-refundable registration fee online and complete the required registration and waiver forms. All tryout participants must pre-register online and be eligible to play in the NBA G League.

Limited seating will be available to the public for a $5 admission fee on the day of the tryout, with all proceeds benefiting the Nets Foundation. Filming of any portion of the tryout is not permitted.
