Nike Commercial Casting: Calling Local Basketball Players

Kid Crossover

**** UPDATE – Thank you everyone who showed up to the Seattle Nike casting call. We had a great turn out with some of Seattle brightest young talent. ***

August 1, 2017 – Nike is seeking basketball players to audition for a National Commercial with their top elite athletes. Watts Basketball is excited to help assist with this process, and give some of our local athletes the opportunity to audition for this modeling opportunity. In order to do so, we have set up an private audition session at an undisclosed location where we will be pre-screening athletes before a casting agent arrives.

This is what our friends at Nike are looking for in candidates:

  • African American Males that LOOK to be 8 years old, 11 years old, or appear to be 17-21
  • Those that audition MUST have strong ball handling skills
  • Limitations: Athletes that are ages 12 to 18 that are currently playing on a basketball team, and athletes currently playing college basketball, are ineligible due to NCAA regulations

If you are interested and match the above criteria, sign-up for the audition:

After registering, we will send you an email two days before the casting on August 7th we will send you all the details (location, time, instructions). Casting will be in Seattle. For now, please keep your schedule open on August 9th from 4:30-9pm. Be prepared to show off your best dribbling skills.


Watts Basketball is Seattle’s premiere institution for player development. Through basketball, we teach strength, concentration, tenacity, and enjoyment of the game. We do all this because we believe basketball skills empower personal growth. That’s what makes us Gamechangers. For Life. To sign up for classes, camps, and clinics check out the calendar.
