Players wishing to attend the tryout must meet all NBA G League player requirements and complete all steps of the registration process located here prior to arriving to their tryout session. This includes 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, as well as a pair of tickets to the Go-Go’s 2022 home opener. Paid parking is available in the parking garage located on Cypress Street and on the surrounding streets of the Entertainment and Sports Arena.
