Tuesdays 5.15pm - 6.30pm

Elite Development

Success in any sport relies heavily on a player being given an opportunity and sound direction as to what they need to do to progress as an athlete. The SKYCITY Breakers, though a fully professional club see the need to cater for and assist in the development of our youth. It is important that we cater for as many kids as we can who show promise as a basketball player and help the selected ones that could go on to becoming a professional player.  

 

The Elite pathway is a well structured Long Term Athletic Development model that guides the athletes through the skills required at each level to develop and succeed in the long term.

 

The Elite Development programme is the introduction to the Elite pathway. In 2012 it is for players born in 2000 and younger. (Players born in 1999 who can't attend the Monday Workout sessions can also join this programme).

 

Trainings are held on Tuesdays from 5.15pm-6.30pm each school term at the SKYCITY Breakers training venue, 7 Atlas Place, Mairangi Bay.

 

The focus of the Development training sessions are to introduce and develop the basic fundamentals of basketball to give the players a strong grounding and base to build on as they progress through the Elite pathway.

 

To remain in the programme it is important to continually work hard and show improvement. This is a selected programme so it is important if selected to treat your spot with great pride and respect.

 

Selections:

Players can gain entry into the programme via:

• Selection from nomination (Nominations must come from a creditable representative, school coach or local association)

NB: Breakers Coaches have the right to move a younger player into a higher age group if they believe this will extend and benefit the player)
