Under-14 Regional Academy Program invitees announced!

Basketball Victoria has invited the best under-14 athletes from the Country Skills Days to participate in this year’s Regional Basketball Academy Program. 

A group of 556 Under-14 Country Skills Day participants have been invited to undertake further training at the elite level within the academy. 

The Under-14 Country Skills Days proved popular in 2022 with 892 players attending the 10 regional centres last weekend. 

Thanks to the hard work of volunteer support coaches, the Skills Days were an incredible success, as Victoria’s best and brightest from the country regions showcased their skills. 

“It was a great weekend across the state giving 892 Country players a day of High Performance training and development,” High Performance and Pathways Coordinator - Country Craig Hockley said. “We want to thank everyone who took part in the Under-14 Skills Days as well as those players who were selected for the Regional Basketball Academy. 

“Our players continue to impress at this age group and we look forward to seeing them take their places in the academy.” 

The Under-14 Regional Academy Program is a training and development program for country athletes that concentrates on advanced individual and team skills. 

Regional Academy players attend regular small group skills sessions at or near their home association, under the direction of a Regional Academy Network Head Coach. Players also attend two compulsory weekend camps within their region. 

The 2022 Regional Basketball Academy will be a 20-week program that includes two camps and develops individual’s skills and team concepts. 

The Regional Basketball Academy will also form the basis for Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup (ACJBC) and Southern Cross Challenge selection in the relevant age groups for 2023.
