Junior basketball options in NSW

Hi all,

I am looking for information for a junior player (FIBA U13) moving from France to Sydney for 6 months. This player plays high junior level in France and would like to maintain similar standards in training and playing while in Australia. Noe that he will not attend school here.

I am involved in basketball development in Victoria and am very familiar with the different pathways and options for juniors within the VJBL and domestic associations. I am however less familiar with the basketball scene in NSW other than the Waratah league, which is to my understanding the Rep pathway of NSW.

My questions are

- is NSW following the same domestic / Rep set up as Victoria?
- is the basketball calendar the same as Victoria?
- does a junior without an Australian passport need clearance to play for a domestic / rep club in NSW?

Thank you for any help, the BNSW website is not the most user friendly when it comes to finding answers.

will also be helpful to know where he will be staying while in Sydney.

All of the clubs competing in NBL1 east also have good junior rep programs.

My suggestion is look at the list of NBL1 east clubs, work out what clubs are nearest to where the player will be staying, then contact that club directly.

Oh as well as the NBL1 east clubs, if the player will be based in western sydney then maybe a program like Savannah Pride is a good fit. A lot of their kids play for Blacktown Storm junior reps, they also send very strong teams to SSANBA tournaments around the country. They have strong connection to the South Sudanese community but are open to anyone who is willing to commit and train hard.
