What I can not believe is the Easter Carnival has just ended. A great result for some of the SA Teams....I believe now the girls especially as of tomorrow(tuesday) have to attend TI Camp. They are sore and tired and need a break but do they get one??? NO ....4 more days of 8 hours a day....they expect the girls to be agrressive and intense...this is crap give them the holidays off...most of the girls going they are aware of...make TI for the kids who want to be noticed not the kids who have been or have got scholarships...Burnout for sure.....

Quite simply they want the kids to develop other skills in other sports. Refreshing really. None of this head up their arse attitude that is killing BASA and basketball in this state. Bit of a boyz club mentality is'nt it. Big fish in little pond. They even go and watch other sports. What people do not realize is if bball people had a more tolerant attitude to other elite sports, the number of kids playing those sports would come and play basketball at the same level. Surely this would improve the sport. I Did not expect that response from you anon. Ask yourself why is it that not only your club but most others can't keep kids past 16-18 years old. I see it, others see it - experience is a wonderful thing, hopefully as it is gained, ones people skills improve and we talk with people not at them.When you get to 50 like me, perhaps you will too.

We have had the good fortune to experience how coaches at a league football club and a district cricket club treat their juniors from 12 and up and there is no doubt that basketball could learn a whole lot from their philosophy when it comes to looking after kids. They do not appear to have this so called burn out / drop out factor that basketball so often talks about. I think quite simply that the reason burn out occurs (particulary in kids that were outstanding in 12 & 14's) is that when they get t under 16's other kids have "caught up" with them height and talent wise and because there are so many other things in life to do these days, they chose the easiest option. Footy and cricket clubs adopt the approach of they actually want kids playing at the age of 22 at their club senior levels and therefore encourage their juniors to participate in other elite sporting pograms. They are smart enough to understand that the skills and discipline learnt at these other sports are beneficial to the cricket and football skills. My kid plays at a leading club in 14's and I must say that the demands for the level they play are not to bad. 2 trainings and a game a week - 4 hours in all. Throw in a shooting program at home and the commitment is not great. Compare that to footy 2 trainings and game plus school and league development squad - 10 hours. District cricket is about 10 hours with 2 trainings and saturday games - The major difference is what those clubs actually spend on development of the kids - it is amazing. I know BASA have no money but until something is done and we actually start doing some thing for our elite juniors they will just keep leaving the sport in droves.
It is a great topic so keep the discussion going it is healthy for the sport and if we can heed collective ideas and it can only be good for basketball.
