Hi All,
Just a query that has come out of a rep tryout that my friends son went to. There was a mention to the parents that there may be an alternative competition that was going to be setup as team numbers are now being restricted by VJBL.
Has anyone heard anything about this?

I doubt it.
Probably just that association running something for the kids that didnt make it.

I think some associations want to keep players involved and training with them if they aren't at the standard at the moment to make a VJBL team. I haven't heard anything about VJBL restricting entries either.

I've been led to believe there has been emails sent to some clubs relating to the number of teams they can enter in the VJBL. Something about depending upon the size of the association and their structures for the domestic competitions supporting the quality of the teams etc
VJBL is supposed to be at a higher level than the domestic competitions

Try out numbers are really big. tough for Associations to accomodate - tough job making selections

There are probably some associations that have greater numbers in their rep programmes than they do in their domestic programmes. Maybe these is where the emails have been directed.

I'd say that generally you want more kids playing more levels of basketball, but the lower grades of VJBL must be a nightmare to grade, resulting in lopsided games that might actually do more harm than good in a kids long term interest in the game
