The Sioux Falls Skyforce, the Heat's G League affiliate, has scheduled an open tryout for next Saturday, September 29, at the Kaseya Center in downtown Miami. If you're thinking about taking your game to the next level, this might be your moment.
The tryout offers a chance for local talent — and anyone willing to make the trip — to showcase their skills in front of Skyforce coaches and personnel from the Miami Heat organization.Here's your chance to come out and show us your 🏀 skills! Open tryouts for the @SFSkyforce are coming soon inside the @KaseyaCenter

Those who impress might find themselves on the 2024-25 Skyforce roster, playing your home games at the Sanford Pentagon in scenic (and, come wintertime, extremely chilly) Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and hitting the road for exotic destinations like Stockton, California, and Harlingen, Texas. (Also Mexico City!)
If you're thinking of hitting the hardwood yourself, here's the deal:
Tryouts run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT, with check-in commencing at 9 a.m. sharp. But don't sleep on the deadline to register; that window closes Friday, September 28. And be prepared to fork over a nonrefundable preregistration fee of $200.
Before you commit to making your pro hoops dream come true, check the NBA G League eligibility requirements and complete all the required forms — registration, release, and a physician's health information authorization.
If this winds up being your first step toward a professional basketball career, you'd be following in the (large) footsteps of players like Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson, both of whom played for the Skyforce before hitting the NBA big time.
