We will be renting in Hallet cove for 12 months then look to buy somewhere

Hallett Cove -- Southern, SOuth Sturt, 15 mins away and then an extra 10 min to fville.

south adelaide- panther32 loves a beer! even though he is a little old now and new mrs keeps him busy!!

you are more than welcome to the southern tigers
the club is looking up

Eastern Mavericks Would welcome your children to the club too,

Based out of Mt Barker in the Adelaide Hills

Approx 1 hour travelling time from Hallet Cover,

The expanding area will provide you will plenty of oppurtunity to look at either buying or building a home.

You also might be lucky enough to find assistance from a coach with regards to finance for your new home.

The parents have asked about the best coaching.

Between the clubs near Hallet Cove, Sturt and/or Forestville wuold have the best coaching.

sturt dont have the best coaches they just blow their bags that they do, they poach players left right and centre, ask the under 10 or under 14 division 1 players how they feel about sturt approaching a coach from another club and gauranteeing his kids play division 1 when they are not up to it!!

if i were you i would head to Southern, current u16 and 18 boys coaches are very good.

Here we go!!!

I think it would be good to increase the smaller clubs... South Adelaide would welcome Vic div 2 players probably to their Div 1 teams.. Sturt, Forrestville have ample kids, be more appreciative at South. I'm NOT from South!!

south or southern are closest.

sturt and forestville aren't far away. good coaching at both clubs, unsure if the mavs have any teams in u18s would be a problem there...

any club will of course talk up their coaches. you're not going to get much here that's not bias, maybe come out, train with a few clubs, start playing in october for summer when you're set, or if you like one make a call and see if they can get you in a side.

eagles trials are generally in early august, so are sturts for externals, unsure about the other clubs.

FMD! Have a read of this shit! It's kids basketball! You people on here need to get a grip! None of u have any idea if these kids have any talent and yet you're all squabbling like school children! Before you start adopting unknown talent why don't you all look in your own backyard and develop your talent like coaches should!

Ps when did we allow Victorians into our state?

Pps go to southern tigers!

All clubs have great and not so great coaches at them.

So I would suggest you go to the closest review the coach at a training, see how your kid fits in and then make your decision.

Div 2 Vic would mean you are boderline Div 1 at most clubs in Adelaide.

Good luck. Sport is for enjoyment.

Beware of a lot of the Big Fish in the small Adelaide Fish bowel who think that the standard here is lot higher than it is.

966 just like the under 14 girl that has come from south and is playing div 1 for free!!!! How do u like them apples???

What a joke!!!

No one plays for free at Sturt. Stop you lying.

She left because the South program has been a disgrace for years. The sooner you South people work out that its you poor coaching that keeps losing players, and the sooner you fix it, the sooner you might keep players.

092 firstly I'm not from south! Secondly, I know that she is playing for free! How does it feel to be a fool and paying fees at Sturt???

Furthermore, how do u like them apples? Muppet!

You don't no Jake. And sure your not from South.

Just keep burying your head in the sand. And blame the tall poppy for your own clubs failing cause that will fix it.

Haha I'm not mate...and yeah south will be extinct in 5 years! Meanwhile u keep paying your daughters fees whilst other girls at your club get a free ride! Sucker!!!

I heard that story too slick! Apparently his kids have been given a spot 'free of charge' in div 1 u10s forcing other kids to have weeks off! Blow your trumpet now my saber friend but with this behaviour it's only a matter of time before the cracks appear!

If empires have fallen, so too can the pansy blue!!!!!

All Sturt coaches get free fee's for 1 child or sibling. That has ben the case for more than 10 years. I guess your club might want to change how they respect ALL their coaches. Its no wonder they leave your club after gettig disrespected by parents and committee members. And the person you are speaking about has coached a team to a National Championship and been a coaching director. Why wouldn't they go into Sturt's coach rotation and be a div 1 coach next year. He would coach Div 1 at any club. No kids have weeks of, its called rotation. All you have heard is the sour grapes from clubs who are going backwards.Does your club even have a coaching director anymore Southern?

Hahaha rotation!!!! That means a week off u idiot! You're not a politician by any chance? Is this Slippery Pete???

No it means a week in division 2. And that is for all 12 kids in the rotation.

but keep talking bout stuff you have no idea about because your club is only good enough to have 1 team in di 2 and not 3 teams total.

I am not a part of any of what has been said previously... and I know the girl you are talking about, If she is getting her fees free goo on her, what is it to anyone else... sounds like sour graped, jealousy and actually none of anyone else's business but the clubs, the parents, and the players... and if my kids fees were paid it would help our family budget greatly, as this sports is not cheap when you have one or more talented kids, and even maybe distance to travel to get there.
Especially when your kids are picked in state stuff... worry about stuff that concerns you and yours... and NO, I am not from Sturt or South.

Its amazing how pathetic and immature you people act, It would be of great benefit for all of you who love to spew your hate and bad mouthing to go back and have a read of the thread. Hang your heads in shame the original poster has probably quickly deduced why SA basketball fails to replicate VIC basketball. Here's a tip perhaps instead of dribbling YOUR opinionated self gratifying egotistic rubbish perhaps go think about the game and how ALL clubs should be working towards the same goal.. GETTING RID OF THE RUBBISH ON THE SIDELINES, Promoting SPORTSMANSHIP, GOOD SPIRIT in Winning and Losing and RESPECT for the Opposition.
Tigers D1 U18 are top Sturt are second Forestville are 4th South Adelaide bottom, In Div 2 U18 Sturt have 2 teams and Forestville 2 teams, tigers in that league are 11th South are 9th.
My 2c Southern is closer and your kids are probably guaranteed of playing at the higher level at that club as less player numbers but shop around go check them all out and see which one suits your needs.
