yep know of a couple of scholarships but we aren't allowed to name them and a few dropped, go to sasi tonight and all will be revealed

what does do the scholarship do for the girls anyway, what is the differene between associate and full

I'd be interested in the "at least 4 names", WHO?

Matters little any way if they were any good they wouldnt be here now

Scholarships are meaningless as opposed to a decade ago when most thing SASI meant 'paid for'. Those running SASI have lost the plot and they lose too many players, cut who they should keep and keep who they should cut. There seems precious little accountability and an incredible amount of nepotism.
The difference between full and associate is the name. Benefits of SASI seem to be a 24 hour bus trip to the east coast, a pay as you go end of year compulsory graduation celebration as an aftermath of a heavilly, sturt foccued supposed SASI camp .There was an end of year 7-8 grand overseas trip that now happens only when they deem they have enough 'decent players.
As above posters have said every 2nd year girl gets a full scholarship if they can breathe mainly because the male focussed training means only a handful of 18's ever stay with the so called 'program'.
Obviously the program is struggling and many expected the post kinsman era to pick things up but the selections in the main have a produced an AIS team that is still winless and non competitive even against average teams in the WNBL.

Pity, I had the 10th in the "Monthly sook about SASI"...

Modern Girl, I wasn't suggesting anything, I was asking who the girls were that dropped out. I suppose that by the time they reach U18 if nothing special has happened for them then it isn't likely to, why continue slugging away training if you feel you're going nowhere. It becomes more difficult to commit to a program as you get older because other things come along, year 12, jobs, boyfriends, girlfriends and so on. I have been involved in the SASI program and my child does have full scholarship and we are more than happy, always have been, never had a whinge to make about SASI or NG at all, grateful for every and any opportunity that comes along. I know some girls were dropped for what ever reason NG seems fit to use, and I know some have dropped out because of other commitments in sport or personal reasons.

Wow! A positive parent.... Mmm I find it interesting that it would appear that your child is actually successful and committed too. Might be a pattern there I think mmmm

My child is also one of those top age SASI Scholarship holders and we are happy with SASI and NG too. Our daughter is dedicated to the sport and we are greatful for all the input SASI & NG have given her. If a child works hard at SASI there is a lot to be taken out of it.

Any odds the above parental lovers of SASI are from Forestville and Sturt but I need to also confess my love for NG and the hope that one day he'll notice me too.

I too love him more than words can say but that love is surpassed by the unrequited love I have for the parent that sits, rain or shine and within earshot of my god at every SASI training. Wonder I if that dear soul be one, whose prose in glory of the king, doth repose above

It may be, shame on her for taking an interest in her daughter and wanting to be involved in her life, how dare she, she should just do a dump and run like most parents at sporting events and training.

enjoythegame, if you're the father I can't wait to see the grammar your son uses.

There's something to be said for 'dump and run' parents. A lot of times parents make the game all about themselves by being seen all the time and talking to everyone and more importantly fueling gossip.
We forget the game is for our children and some people would make the game happier and healthier for lots of others including the children if they they themselves became 'dump and run' parents!!

My child plays at state level and I love watching her game, but I'll be damned if I sit and watch every training session. She doesn't need that and I have other things to do because it's not about me!!
I don't follow her to school and sit in the classroom watching her every movement. Back off and let them have their own lives.

the sasi scholarships are up on the Basketball SA website for those interested.

What did Darren do?
