The Brydens Sydney Uni Flames are pleased to announce the Emerging Flames group for 2019-20.
The Flames coaching staff have selected some talented youngsters from the Basketball NSW’s junior ranks as well as a number of players from the Spalding Waratah League.
Head Coach Katrina Hibbert attended some Junior and Senior games as well as the Junior Grand Final Day and Senior Waratah Championships weekend to assist in her selection.
“It has been a great opportunity to create some pathways and to expose some of our up and coming talent to the level required to be a professional female basketballer,” Hibbert said.
“The girls did a fantastic job in the first week of practice with their level of intensity and competitiveness.”
Flames General Manager Karen Dalton said the program was integral to athlete development.
“We see the Emerging Flames as an important piece of the future of the Flames. We would love to see as many NSW Juniors as part of our Flames teams moving forward,” Dalton said.
“It was great to see our young NSW female talent training with the senior group last week and we are looking forward to following their development.”
