starting a best of age team late on isn't the best way to develop kids.
Has to be from the very beginning of there rep playing journey.
U12 to u18..

Being part of HP doesn’t stop them playing rep ball, infact they must play rep ball, it may when they get to the UN18 allow them to not play fir a domestic club simply because of time restraints s, but it doesn’t prevent them .

They don't play for a club team if they are apart of 'VIC HP'
I disagree that it would be watered down. You have 4+ divisions within each age group now and an increase in basketball registrations every year. You also have clubs that are rapidly expanding in areas of population growth. Teams in the south east like Casey etc and new teams yet to come on board in the north.

Every state has more than one though don’t they
, plus you have multiple positions to fill
Better to be able to
Develop more than simply focus on a handful

The whole point is to build top quality athletes.

Notice how they keep leaving to go back home?

#229 - if you think every state has 10-15 COE level athletes think again

If you chose the best 12-15 within the state for each age group.

Best 11/12y.o in u14 state league
Best 13/14y.o in u16 state league
Best 15/16y.o in u18 state league
Best 17/18y.o in senior division

Each age group gets HP training every week. (this is not the same as nitp)



Fnsw institute do it this way.

13G compete in u14 npl
14G compete in u15 npl
15G compete in u17 npl
16G compete in womens reserves
17G compete in women's 1sts

Majority of players end up as u17, u20 or senior matildas or w league professionals.
Each state has something similar but don't field a team in every age group.

Where do you think they get them from in the first place lol

you won't get COE level of athletes at any depth in numbers at a state level

doesn't an individual state's high performance program cover this ? The COE is the next step up assembling the best athletes.

Should follow the ntc model in soccer.

Eg

Vjbl u14, u16, u18, u20
U12 vic side play in u14vjbl
U14 vic side play in u16vjbl
U16 vic side play in u18vjbl
U18 vic side play in u20vjbl

Same with all the states
Wabl
District Sa
Tas
Waratah metro/country
Bqjbc
Qnjbc

Agree with above. Need multiple campuses across country

Time they did away with the whole “live in” program and instead put resources into developing a larger pool across the country, take those athletes who show potential into short term camps throughout the year, this allows them to be exposed to bigger older stronger opponents and more competitive games than they get simply being encased at the institute with the same ten players al, the time.

This is what these institute athletes lack when they eventually leave.
In addition as they are still young they can at least have parental guidance and access to better education.

If they are going to go on to be elite athletes they will do so with or without the CofE

You must remember that the announced list is also people have ACCEPTED the scholarships. Some may not want to attend COE and would prefer to perfect their game elsewhere. Some may want to focus on academics at their chosen school, lots of reasons.

What's going on with Vic metro? Would this be a first when there are ZERO Vic metro boys in the program?

Still kids from 98'.
00 kids who just came in have no chance of making Aus teams.

King hawea-sponsored by global academy.
Guess that means she's playing for nz?

Should be 27 kids 01-02-03.
Only 13 out of 28.

Geez, what are they doing....

It's a very overrated program for both girls and boys

Few if any who have attended have set the basketball world on fire, only advantagethey get is a guarantee into a national team

I think they'll probably take a few 03s.

North Adelaide boy '03 born will make his way there by next year i think.

Oh, and Hulland 99'

4 players that are no longer eligible for junior nationals teams.

Any logic in retaining grida 98', Mudronja 99' and Mole 99'?
Doesn't make much sense if youre trying to develop players for junior national teams.

they shouldnt take any from 00.

That group is so stacked, they are going to have a tough time choosing u18/u19 players for Asia/worlds.

I wonder if anyone stood out at the recent ADC?

Looks like they need another pg, another guard, a couple of sfs and another post player.

Based on form at the u16 Asia champs, you'd think Amoore and Nnopu will be 2 of them.
Anstey who was injured? and potter maybe?

Wow, that is pretty bad.

Likely girls form the u16 side.

So hard to even gauge selections as performances at National Championships aren't a big consideration anymore
