The Grant Khomo team is selected based on the bylaws. Firstly there will be regional trials from 3 to 4 April next year.

After the regional trails the invitational trials commence. This is usually for children who were not able to attend the first trials or did not make the team.

From the invitational trials they select the under-18 Hage Geingob and u016 Solly Duiker teams in Windhoek.

They also further select the //Karas, Khomas, Hardap, northern and Erongo teams.

These teams will play five games against one another. The u-16 Solly Duiker teams play for the Jacques Burger trophy and the u-18 Hage Geingob teams play for the Herman Rust trophy.

After the tournament, they select the top 35 or 40 players for the u-16 and u-18 teams, respectively. Thereafter they test the players for their speed, agility, performance and endurance.

The Grand Khomo team will be selected after the practice camp on 9 May next year.
