Camps

 

Camps are an important part of the SDP. They allow our Development Staff to educate athletes on important teaching concepts and systems, with opportunity then for athletes to test their understanding against others from around the state. Coaches can evaluate how athletes are progressing, and post camp it allows coaches to reflect and determine how they will prepare and deliver weekly practice sessions. For the athlete the camps help them to develop determination, self confidence, and resilience - critical skills for basketball and life.

​

The first camp for the 2020-2021 cycle will be held Saturday 12 December 2020, venue Deloraine, 10.00am - 5.00pm
