Since, most schools are in vacation and little time thereafter to prepare the state teams, the GBA Selection committee decided to select a list of 20 probable players who will have to undergo a month long training camp in preparation for the Nationals. The State Championship will be held all the same in Mid June once the schools begin. Any deserving player from the tournament will be given an opportunity to be part of the team.

The final list of selected players will be declared in the first week of May 2017.
