It seems Juniors have completely fallen off of BSAs new media and marketings job description and radar..
Nothing on Finals for Summer season, nothing on any junior related event full stop including up coming State Champs..
But news on events that are not occurring in SA and those long gone pops up on BSA FB. Completely offensive to the juniors and future of this state.
Looks like they are living in their own personal past and BSA only has Premier league and that is not as well produced and organised as last year..
Gobsmacking and amateur to say the least not to mention the state of womens and girls basketball with so few teams and poor division gradings that will ultimately see an increasing drop out rate due to inappropriate placement of teams. And what is going on with the Lightning and what was the purpose of that bizzare Surge sign up.
Other than State training and Scheduling, what they are delivering to the basketball community in SA. What initiatives have been implemented to increase participation and improve the quality of delivery ??? All I see is the slow breakdown of a number of clubs, school competitions and certain age groups are suffering because the assumptions that manipulating divisions and gradings will push players to other clubs or there needs to be a specific number of teams every year. All that is doing is breaking down communities and reducing participation numbers across the board. A more fluid and flexible approach is needed as every season is different so use Summer season wisely and adjust ideas to match the needs of that season year by year. Why be locked in to an inflexible scheduling plan. Time to meet the needs of the current teams.
I am a very very concerned observer.
