Question 1

Do I need To Trial For A Team?

Accepted Answer

If your new to MAD, then you will need to be assessed by our coaching staff prior to being placed into a competition team. Register your interest by completing our Expression Of Interest form on our Teams page. Once we receive your application we will get in contact to arrange a trial date.

Question 2

Must I Train & Does My Team Have Training?

Accepted Answer

Training is not compulsory at MAD to be selected in a team. We do however, prioritise players who commit to trainings. Our teams are stronger than most club teams simply because we train, we have a foundational offensive and defensive system in place, plus our teams train to develop their individual skills.

The Importance of Training:

Player development is our primary focus. We believe skilled, smart and strong players are key if our teams are to compete at a high level. 
As a parent its a proud moment seeing your child play with confidence. Training & repetitions, builds confident players. 
Players who don't attend trainings usually fall behind during games because they don't know the plays, our defensive system and overall game plan. 
During the tougher closely contested games, coaches usually field the team of 5 that understand the MAD game plan and can execute.
Our coaches and players also have a uniform basketball language/terminologies we use on a regular basis amongst our teams, this organises, unifies and limits confusion during games.

We strongly encourage all players to attend trainings to continue their development.
