Eligible participants include students currently enrolled in the third year of junior high school or the first year of high school as of April 2026. Applicants must complete registration through the organization’s dedicated online portal before the deadline on Saturday, November 28, 2026, at 18:00.
Required Equipment and Administrative Submission Rules
Players attending the session must bring basketball shoes, athletic wear, a towel, a beverage, a change of clothes, their completed registration form, and a signed participation consent form. The club will email the required participation consent form to applicants following online registration, and attendees must hand in the physical document at the check-in desk upon arrival.
Organizers confirmed that basketballs will be provided by the club, meaning participants do not need to bring their own equipment. The organization also stipulated that attendees must maintain their own sports insurance coverage, as personal responsibility applies to any injuries sustained during the tryout.
Youth Development Objectives and Attendance Restrictions
The Rizing Zephyr Fukuoka youth program structures its daily training regimen around five to six sessions per week. The club’s stated developmental goals focus on cultivating socially responsible individuals, energizing the local Fukuoka community, and eventually producing players capable of advancing to the professional top team, national teams, and international competition.
Due to spatial limitations at the venue, parents and accompanying guardians are not permitted to observe the tryouts from inside the facility. Families needing alternate arrangements or having inquiries regarding scheduling conflicts are instructed to contact the Rizing Zephyr Fukuoka Youth Office directly via email at [email protected].
