By Rams Media,
On behalf of Metro & North Canterbury Basketball we are pleased announce the coaches for the A & B teams that will be coaching the “Canterbury Combined” teams competing in the National Qualifying Tournament. The Canterbury region has 2 spots for the Basketball New Zealand Nationals which will be competed for between “Canterbury Combined”, Mid & Sth Canterbury. We would like to congratulate the below coaches who will be working tirelessly in conjunction with the Rams & Wildcats coaches along with the Development Managers from the Canterbury Basketball Academy & North Canterbury Basketball to prepare our teams to represent our area to the best of their abilities. The journey begins with the Term 1 Summer Development League (SDL) running from February 11th – March 25th, followed by Metro & North Canterbury holding their respective representative trials on April 2nd. Metro & North Canterbury will select multiple teams in each age group to participate in a Selection tournament where the “Canterbury Combined” A & B teams will be selected. The players not selected from the selection tournament will have the opportunity to be selected for their respective Metro & North Canterbury Mainland teams. Coach applications for the Metro & North Canterbury Mainland teams will be announced at a later date. If you are interested in coaching at the upcoming SDL please contact either Caleb Harrison ([email protected]) or Jules Schwalger-Smith ([email protected]). Information for the upcoming Term 1 SDL & confirmed dates for the Selection Tournament & National Qualifying Tournament will be made available in the coming weeks.
