🚨2026 Northern Kings AAU Tryouts 🚨

Dates: 🗓️ Dec 20/21 and Dec 27/28 (Final Tryouts)

Times and registration link in bio

Where: 📍The Hoop Factory: 1420 Bayly, Unit 13 Pickering, Ontario

Who: Grades 3-12 and Post grads

The P32 New Balance travel team platform gives our athletes something most players only daydream about: a clear pathway to national visibility. The P32, E32, and Jr. P32 circuits place King Nation athletes on floors where real decisions are made — courts lined with college coaches, evaluators, and scouts actively recruiting.

These platforms aren’t just tournaments; they’re talent accelerators. Every event expands an athlete’s reach, sharpens their competitive edge, and opens doors to programs across the United States and Canada.

Each level of the platform meets players where they are and pushes them toward where they want to be.

Jr. P32~Introduces young athletes to elite travel basketball and the pace of true national competition.

E32~ elevates developing prospects by placing them in front of decision-makers who track long-term potential.

P32~ is the proving ground — a stage built for scholarship-level athletes ready to show they belong.

For families committed to the journey, this is where growth becomes opportunity, and opportunity becomes a future you can see taking shape

It Started at St. Bonaventure….
A few months back, our #KingNation & @caliprepacademy members made the trip down to Bonaventure to see where it all started for our founder and program director — sharpening our mindset, strengthening our bond, and setting the tone for the season. That weekend wasn’t just games — it was groundwork and inspiration for future success

SCORING GETS ATTENTION. IMPACT EARNS TRUST.

Before the ball goes through the basket, our coaches are already evaluating:

1. Effort
2. Communication
3. Decision-making
4. Defence
5. Response to coaching

Can you compete without the ball?
Make the right play?
Defend?
Communicate?
Apply correction?

Points matter—but complete players impact winning in multiple ways.

IMPACT THE GAME.

Save this before your next tryout and send it to a player who needs to understand how coaches evaluate.

REAL DEVELOPMENT ISN’T RANDOM.

It follows a system:

1. ASSESS where the athlete is.
2. PLAN what needs to improve.
3. TRAIN with purpose.
4. APPLY it under pressure.
5. REVIEW the results—and repeat.

At Northern Kings Academy, we don’t confuse activity with progress. Every stage must prepare the athlete for what comes next.

DEVELOPMENT IS A PROCESS.
NOT A PROMISE.

Save this as the standard when evaluating your child’s development program.
