Brighton Bears are ready to take on neighbours Worthing Thunder at the Brighton Centre.
The special challenge match on Sunday, September 29 (5pm), is part of a tie-up which will also see Thunder players invited to train with Brighton on a daily basis.
Bears coach Nick Nurse said: "A year ago this game could not have taken place. There were some hard feelings between the clubs but that has all changed now."
Meanwhile, Nurse has told Sterling Davis to decide in the next few days whether he will sign a new contract at Brighton.
Bears are close to re-signing forward Errol Seaman while Thunder have retained American centre Gaylon Moore will return for the new season.
BBL powerhouses London Towers are set to make a key signing as forward Kendrick Warren returns from a season in Finland.
