40 athletes will be offered invitations to the 2017 Australian Development Camp (ADC) at Basketball Australia’s Centre of Excellence from January 22-25.
The ADC offers a mechanism to identify future Australian Boomers and Opals as well as assess potential scholarship holders for the Centre of Excellence via the 20 men and 20 women who will be in attendance.
Players are also given the development opportunity to learn under the top coaches in the country through Centre of Excellence head coaches Adam Caporn and Kristen Veal as well as assistant coaches Matthew Paton and Michael Cassidy who will help expose the athletes to the Boomers and Opals style of play.
In further good news, a second ADC will be held in September/October 2017 to coincide with school holidays with the high performance managers to determine the skill set package for that camp at a later date.
