is this right? ive seen articles saying shes playing for the AIS? does this mean when they (if they) play the fellas she will be playing against the likes of Summerton?
Does this make her the youngest to ever play WNBL??
Is not, who is?? and what about the youngest to play NBL?? are there ages restrictions??
yes she is playing for the AIS, I saw here a couple of weeks ago on the ABC game

I also saw her play against Bulleen, and she did very well. Missed a few close shots but got some good blocks and gave the AIS something big and able to move. Was impressed! bigger and better things to come for her in the future
Katie Rae EBZERY who is also at the Tute is a 1990 baby (younger the Cayla), is playing for the AIS. Not sure if there has ever been anyone younger.
wasn't LJ the youngest i'm sure I saw her playing WNBL at 16 I'm positive I saw her play a 'friendly' against brazil in a gems game at mt barker and she was only 16 thought that Tracey Braithwaite would be the star of the show and Lauren go far more minutes and baskets and deserved it.

Katie had her 16th birthday a few weeks ago so she was playing at 15 and looks like a very promising prospect.
Cayla will be good, needs a bit more grit in her but should come with maturity.

Didn't Jo Hill play for North Adelaide in their 1991 premiership side as a 14 year old? Before she went to the AIS in 1992?
She has top scored for the AIS in three of her last four games.

RE Jo Hill
According to North Club records Jo was 17 when she played in the Rockets 1990 WNBL Championship team

Jo Hill was a natural - didn't she only start playing when she was around 15??

Rebecca Miles was 16 when she first played WNBL for townsville and she was told she was the youngest to ever play WNBL, but that was in 2002.
