40 athletes named for 2013 Aust Development camp

Wow, congratulations to Chantal Horvat from Geelong being selected at the age of 15, a wonderful effort, also the Supercats' George Blagojevic gets another chance to show his amazing skills as a 6'7" small forward...

And, yes, they are all obviously basketball athletes!

Is it just me or is anyone else irritated by the constant references to 'athletes' in this article?

They used to be called 'players', because they played. 'Athletes' makes it sound like they don't even need to be a player to be considered.

We've had enough comments on here disappointed about how there's too much stress on athletic abilities rather than pure skills in our national teams these days, and this article seems to prove once again that that's what they're looking for.

just wondering why clubs charge players so much to play for them?
i just finished playing gridiron where it costs $200 to $250 a season and that gets u the pads, uniform and all that where as when i did play district basketball i remember it being $350 a season.
In gridiron u get exactly the same things from your club, there are more officials so it cant be that with basketball, less players than basketball so we cant say for usuage of the stadiums.

This could also help out with the prvious thread about petrol prices, if club fees were to drop, does anyone else think that this would help keep more kids playing the game of basketball?
