Junior Representative Teams
Take Your Game to the Next Level
For players looking for a greater challenge, the Smithfield Basketball League Junior Representative Program provides an opportunity to compete at a higher level, develop advanced basketball skills and represent our club against some of the best junior teams in the region.
