Junior Apples
Expressions of Interest
Cross Over Basketball is preparing teams for the Central Otago Junior Apples Tournament in Queenstown.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Represent Cross Over in Queenstown.
We are seeking interest from current Cross Over players for U12 Boys, U12 Girls, U14 Boys and U14 Girls teams.
Additional teams may be entered if player numbers, coaching, accommodation and transport allow. We may take up to six teams, with approximately 10 players selected per team.
Tim will make the final selections and determine the most appropriate grade and team for each player. Strong younger players may be selected to compete in an older grade.
Who can apply
Players must be registered as current Cross Over players for Term 4 before a tournament place can be confirmed.
Estimated fee
The estimated player fee is $380–$420. The final fee will be confirmed after team numbers, trip costs and sponsorship are finalised.
Confirming a place
Selected players must pay a $190 non-refundable deposit within 72 hours of receiving their place offer.
PLAYER FEE
What the estimated fee includes.
- Player accommodation
- Meals and snacks
- Tournament entry
- Van hire
- Fuel

Parents and supporters arrange and pay for their own travel and accommodation. Selected players will travel and stay with the Cross Over group.
TEAM UNIFORMS
Uniform availability will help determine team numbers.
Every selected player will be allocated a Cross Over playing uniform, with uniform numbers chosen by Cross Over.
The number of players and teams we can take may depend on having enough uniforms in the required sizes.
We are seeking sponsors to help fund Cross Over uniform sets for each Academy age group, along with a Junior Apples Event Sponsor to partner with us for this tournament.
If your business may be interested—or you can introduce us to a potential sponsor—please let us know in the expression-of-interest form below.
All uniforms remain Cross Over property and must be returned in good condition after the tournament. Families will provide singlet and shorts sizing information through the form.
