South Australia sends metropolitan and country teams to the Under 16 and Under 18 National Championships, which provides the opportunity to compete against other states and territories. The best players from across metropolitan and country areas are selected for the Under 20 and Ivor Burge teams to compete in the National Championships. Selection trials are advertised and conducted for all teams.

• Under 16 National Championships (Metro and Country)
• Under 18 National Championships (Metro and Country)
• Under 20 National Championships
