A HISTORIC STEP: BINAR JOINS WABL
2027 binar maali wabl trials
2027 BINAR MAALI WABL TRIALS ARE HERE!
After an incredible first season, we're ready to build on the momentum and look ahead to the 2027 WABL season!
As we enter our second year in WABL, we believe it's important to provide all athletes with the opportunity to trial for both State Championships and WABL.
IMPORTANT: Selection in a 2026 Binar State Championships team does not guarantee selection in a 2027 WABL team. All athletes, including those selected for State Championships, must trial again to be considered for WABL selection.
WABL trials are open to ALL athletes, including those who did not trial for or represent Binar at the 2026 State Championships.
If you missed State Champs trials, this is your opportunity to get involved and be part of the Binar Maali pathway in 2027!
We look forward to seeing everyone on court!
Please select your age group to view the trial date, time and location.

WHAT IS WABL
The Western Australian Basketball League (WABL) is the state’s premier junior basketball competition, providing a high-performance pathway for developing athletes, coaches and officials across Western Australia.
Administered by Basketball WA, the competition brings together 14 associations from across metropolitan Perth and regional WA – stretching from Wanneroo to the South West – and includes some of the state’s most talented young basketballers.
WABL caters to players aged 7 to 19, with official competition age groups being U12, U14, U16, U18 and U20. The season journey begins each January with open trials, followed by the WABL Grading Tournament in March, which determines team placement across divisions to ensure balanced and competitive matchups throughout the year.
The regular season kicks off in late April and runs through Term 2 and Term 3 of the school year, including school holidays. Games are held on Sundays over a 16-week fixture, followed by three weeks of finals. Teams travel across WA, playing at venues from Joondalup to Bunbury, and everywhere in between.

Trials & Team Selection

We will be re-trialling for all groups. This differs from other clubs who do not re-trial athletes after State Championships.
Athletes who represented Binar at State Championships are not guaranteed selection for WABL and will still need to participate in trials.
All teams are selected by Binar’s Director of Player & Coach Development and the appointed lead coach for each age group, with input from our head coaches.

In February and March each year, the competition holds a pre-season Grading Tournament. After grading, the regular season runs between April and August, with finals taking place in September. Round 1 of the 2026 season is scheduled for 26 April. Finals will commence on 30 August after a 16-week regular season, and conclude with Grand Final day on 13 September.
