Rather than a usual disorganized style of showcase basketball—where athletes often feel pressured to play selfishly to stand out—our September Training Event uses small-sided games and structured scrimmaging to create a more purposeful environment. This allows players to thrive within team concepts while giving coaches a clearer view of their true skill sets through a number of repetitions in specific environments.

Coaches will be provided with a full information packet on all attending players.

What Players will attend?
- All State Performance Program Players will be offered from the Eastern Seaboard including Victoria, NSW, ACT and QLD, Tasmania and South Australia as well as Centre of Excellence. To provide maximum opportunity we will aim for an absolute maximum of 40 athletes split over 2 groups.
