Players will receive expert evaluations from scouts and managers representing every PBL club, along with personalized developmental feedback. Each of the camps will culminate in a draft, offering players a direct pathway to join a PBL team and continue their professional journey. 

The PBL Tryout Camps are open to players aged 18 and older with less than three years of professional experience. Players who are not eligible to play in the PBL are still encouraged to participate, as their performance data may be accessed by scouts from other professional leagues.
