Basketball NSW would like to congratulate the 320 Country players selected for the upcoming John Davidson Country Under-12 Jamboree.
Held for the first time since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Jamboree invites the best 160 boys and 160 girls to gain experience developing their skills in a High-Performance environment. Selections were held during the July School Holiday U12 Skills Days for top-age athletes.
This year the Jamboree will be held at two locations on the same weekend with both Tamworth & Griffith hosting to assist with minimising regional travel for participants and families.
The Jamboree has been developed to provide junior country basketballers with an enjoyable basketball experience that includes more than just direct head-to-head competition. The concept includes social activities, coaching clinics, and games. The focus is not on winning, it is participatory and enjoyment of the game that is important at Jamboree. The games have specifically designed rules that cater to the involvement of all players.
The selected athletes will be added to 10 girls and 10 boys teams at Southern and Northern Jamboree across the three day event to encourage their development alongside new coaches and new teammates from across Country NSW.
Further information will be sent to invited players in the coming weeks.
