Requirements include showing proof of vaccination in your online application that will be reviewed by the Go-Go organization. A non-refundable registration fee of $200 must be paid in order to participate. Players participating in the tryout will receive a Go-Go jersey and pair of shorts for use during the tryout. There will be parking available on site in the Blue Lot on the day of the tryout. Participants may also travel to the arena using the Metro green line to the Congress Heights station.
The local player tryout is a unique feature of the NBA G League, in which players participate in drills in front of Go-Go personnel for a chance at an invitation to Capital City’s training camp in October. The Go-Go are able to invite up to four players from the tryout to training camp. The tryout will be closed to public viewing and participants will not be permitted to bring guests into the tryout.
