We are ALL IN for NBL25 season

Dear 36ers Family,

Welcome to the NBL25 season and with the countdown now on for the new campaign, we are excited, determined and are ALL IN.

You would have seen our NBL25 schedule was released last Friday, with a blockbuster of home games set for the Adelaide Entertainment Centre all taking place over weekends or school holidays.

This is a fantastic result for all our devoted members, partners and fans, who have been rewarded for their loyal support.

Our home game product is one of the best in the country and the demand for memberships is at an all-time high, almost 30 per cent up from the same time last season.

Memberships have been on sale now for over a month and we are on track to again break our own club record in NBL25.

With the fantastic long-term commitment from Isaac Humphries and DJ Vasiljevic, who both have signed for the next three seasons as marquee players, we are now searching for two imports to finalise our roster.

Under the guidance of GM of Basketball, Matt Weston and Head Coach Scott Ninnis, we have built an impressive roster so far during free agency, with local talents Lat Mayen, Jacob Rigoni and Ben Griscti joining the club and Alex Starling re-signing for a second season.

The club is focused on securing a high-level dynamic point guard and power forward imports who can play multiple positions.

Matt and Scott will travel to the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas next month to scout these final roster spots.

On Tuesday and Wednesday this week, the club will hold our annual Development Player camp at St Clair Recreation Centre where the coaching staff will cast their eye over the next generation of NBL talent.

The Development Player camp was an outstanding success in 2023 with Griscti and Rigoni both graduating onto the main roster and the club is keen to lock away the 36ers of the future.

We would also like to wish our NBL24 Next Star Trentyn Flowers all the best at this week’s 2024 NBA Draft as he strives to make the big time.

Trentyn was a huge fan favourite last season, and we can’t wait to see him shine in the next phase of his basketball journey.

With school holidays fast approaching in less than 2 weeks, the club again is thrilled to be hosting two Adelaide 36ers School Holiday Clinics lead by club legend Brett Maher.

Our first two-day clinic will be held at the State Basketball Centre, Wayville from July 11-12, followed by St Clair Recreation Centre from July 15-16.

If you haven’t got your kids or grandkids to experience our clinics previously, I suggest you check it out. It’s a fantastic few days where they will learn new skills, have lots of fun and get the opportunity to meet our players!

On behalf of the entire organisation, I want to send my gratitude and a heartfelt thank you to all our members, partners, fans, and supporters for your passion, enthusiasm and unwavering support.

Your belief in our club has given us the passion and desire to be ALL IN and we are committed to giving our Adelaide 36ers family the same level of dedication required to once again bring back on court success.

We look forward to seeing you all when the NBL25 season tips off in September.
