Who Will Be the Next to Rise and Take the Throne?

Next Play UK x Kings of the Court Open Trials Now Live

Every generation produces players who change the game — who take what came before and raise the standard.
Now, it’s your turn.

The Next Play UK Open Trials, powered by Kings of the Court, are officially live.
This is your opportunity to step out of the highlight reel and onto the court — to prove you’re the next to rise, the next to lead, the next in line for the throne.


Stage 1: Submit Your Highlights

Before you’re invited to trial, show us what you bring.
Players can now submit a short highlight reel that captures your game — your pace, skill, and personality on the court.
We’re looking for movement, IQ, toughness, and energy — the traits that separate good players from great ones.

📩 Submit your highlights at: trials@nextplayuk.com
🎥 Length: 60–90 seconds
⚡️ Tip: Keep it raw. Let your game do the talking.


Stage 2: Trial Invitations Announced

Selected players will receive official invitations to our regional trial events, hosted under the Kings of the Court banner.
Each session includes skill testing, live gameplay, and performance evaluation by Next Play UK’s coaching and scouting staff.

Bring your energy, your focus, and your edge — because every player there wants the same thing you do: to prove they’re the next in line for the throne.


Stage 3: Earn Your Crown

Perform. Compete. Stand out.
Top performers will earn their place in the Kings of the Court season, representing their region in front of coaches, scouts, and a national audience.
Selections will be revealed across Next Play UK and KOTC channels — with full player features, stats, and highlight coverage for every chosen athlete.


This Is About What Comes Next

Next Play UK isn’t just running trials — we’re building the bridge to the future of British basketball.
The players who make it through will set the tone for a new era — faster, stronger, hungrier, and ready to carry the crown for the next generation behind them.

“This is where it begins,” said a league spokesperson. “Every great career starts with one moment — one decision to show up and compete.”
