Private School Boys Basketball vs Rep Basketball

@john, in Vic most representative teams in the VJBL have coaches who apply for their position and they receive some form of incentive based payment varied between covering travel and accommodation costs to including cash incentives depending on team success.

Not quite on the topic but ...

In Melbourne, it seems that most private school kids play school sports in their own leagues, which public school kids don't.
The more teams any kid plays for, the more confusion and contradiction in what they're told and what they need to know, how they need to play, who they need to be friends with to get noticed or advanced, etc.

Unfortunately, I think kids in Melbourne are able to play too much basketball - I've heard of some playing 5 nights a week, including rep. Yeah, it's great to give them an outlet for their passion, but then we shouldn't be surprised if they burn out and leave the game when they stop school.

I'd be curious to see if there's a clear relationship between the number of nights a week played and how far players got. Did the current Boomers get there by playing 5 nights a week, for example?

If you register in a local comp, you are covered by BNSW insurance. You can even register with BNSW and not play in any of the comps and you are a registered player covered by the insurance.

I know there are some promising coaches besides Rex Nottage in the private school ranks.

Tim Hudson is at Barker, Jim Arkel- Joeys, Delmas Green- Kings, Stephen Whitehead -Cranbrook, Ben Hayman -High, Ben Morrissey- Trinity, plus more.

Apparently a player that went out to U20 trials was told that since she wasn't a SASI athlete and hadn't been in state teams previously she wouldn't be considered. Looks like a closed shop in SA.
