AIS to sit out next two SEABL seasons

Im not convinced that increasing the training workload and decreasing the quantity of games is beneficial.
In the USA, players have a rigorous game schedule with high school basketball and AAU over summer.

I agree with Libertine..you can train all you want

There are still plenty of opportunities for them to play games, plenty of opportunities for them to develop.

They'll get two or three tours a year, they'll play against visiting College teams and visiting Junior National Teams, local competition in Canberra - they'll still play more games than an NBL team.

Apart from the U19 worlds in NZ when we had 3 visiting teams come through Australia, how many international Junior teams travel halfway around the world to the Southern hemisphere for friendlys?

We can hardly get senior teams to come to Australia at any time even leading into major championships. I can hardly see a Euoprean team spending a $100,00 to come to Australia. And how many college teams actually tour Australia? Maybe 4 a year and all around the same time.

I read it as they will travel overseas to tournaments like the Albert Switzer etc, but they will spend their time at home individually developing athletes. More strenght traiing etc etc more fundimentals. It takes a while to recover for kids to play against men.

There are still plenty of opportunities for the relevant junior national team's to play in apart from WC's. Perhaps we may see some international junior teams tour Australia fro friendly tournaments as well????
