Prominent players like Gaurav Bora, Rohit Kumar, Aashique Kuruniyan, and several international stars have risen through the ranks of BBFS.

The trials are open to players born between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2013. Participants are required to report at 8:30 AM IST, carrying their kits and a valid Government ID. A registration fee of INR 100 is applicable to all attendees.
