2022/2023 bASKETBALL TASMANIA FDP & SDP TRIALS
Basketball Tasmania is conducting open trials for Future Development Program (boys and girls born between 2010 and 2013) and State Development Program (boys and girls born between 2006 and 2009).
The FDP and SDP are 'selective' programs supported by Basketball Australia and aim to develop the best boys and girls in each region of our state. The programs include weekly practices in their regions and a series of camps to develop their individual skills, mental skills, and team concepts.
There will be two trials held and athletes are asked to attend both. If athletes are unable to attend a trial or wish to register an apology, they should email the relevant Basketball Tasmania Development Officer. There is $10 cost which covers both trials. Players are asked to please bring a named basketball, a named drink bottle and wear a reversible basketball singlet and basketball shorts of any colour.
