3 Introduction The Canterbury Basketball Academy encapsulates the various facets of the Canterbury Basketball Association (CBA) under age development and representative programme. CBA contracts and oversees Canterbury Regional Basketball Foundation to deliver the Academy programme. The purpose of the Academy is to ensure that teams at National and Regional tournaments are the best prepared and coached to proudly represent Canterbury Basketball Association. The development and representative programme will give players the best opportunity to become the best player they possibly can. From the representative programme players will have skills to follow multiple pathway s including club, school, national under-age teams, Rams & Wildcats, Tall Blacks & Tall Ferns, ANBL & WNBL, US College, and Europe professional leagues. The purpose of the calendar is to integrate school, club and representative programme so decisions can be made that are in the best interest for the players. We have a player s first philosophy and we strive to have this in the following levels of basketball. Levels of Basketball: Level 1: Under 11 Under 13 Level 2: Under 15 Under 19 Level 3: 19 and over to Adult Explore Learning to Practice/Learning to Compete Learning to Excel Level Teams Age Group Competition Level 1 Canterbury Basketball Association Representative teams U13 BBNZ U13 Southern Regional Championship Club based teams Club Competitions (Pioneer, Bishopdale, Cowles, Wharenui,Selwyn) Level 2 Canterbury Basketball Association Representative teams U15, U17, U19 BBNZ U15, U17, U19 Nationals Club based teams Club Competitions Level 3 Rams & Wildcats Club based teams (U15, U17, U20) Open Rams & Wildcats Club Competitions (U23, Premiers) Page 3

4 Philosophy- Player First Each team from Rams/Wildcats down to under 13's will implement the Canterbury playing ethos, principles of play & style of play. The players long term development will be put over short term wins. We want to develop players who are inspired and confident to carry on their basketball development. These 6 keys will define our Ethos o Fitness speed, agility, power, strength, endurance o Aggressiveness imaging, capitalising o Mental toughness perseverance, managing distractions o Relentless effort next play mentality, process over outcome o Intelligence planning, reflecting o Teamwork inter-dependence, empathy & listening, collaboration 10 Basketball Commitments o We will sprint back & pick the ball up early in transition o We will have tremendous ball pressure o We will be in an open stance pointing at our player & the ball o We will talk, close out & contest shots without fouling o We will block out rebound & run o We will play with great pace & push the ball everytime in transition o We will attack the paint playing inside out o We will have great ball movement always making the extra pass o We will have great floor spacing spreading the floor o We will attack the offensive boards 4 Non-Negotiables o Ball pressure always close enough to touch the ball o Box out o Sprint baseline to baseline on offence & defence o Good to great shot Offensive Principles of Play o Fast pace constantly put pressure on the rim & defence o Freedom players are empowered to make decisions & reads o Playmakers all players are encouraged to dribble, pass & shoot o Attack always be looking for ways to draw a 2 nd defender Offensive Style of Play we feel as though the dribble drive offense allows our players to live by our offensive principles. The spacing and un-predictable nature of the offense allow the p layers to make reads and play selflessly. Defensive Principles of Play o Ball Pressure constantly apply pressure and disrupt the offensive flow Page 4

5 o Stance we want to always be in a sprinters stance o Vision always seeing ball & player o Communication communicate team mates positioning to build trust Defensive Style of Play we feel as though the pack defense allows us to live our defensive principles. We are able to apply tremendous ball pressure on the ball, while having good vision off the ball to allow us to disrupt the offensive teams driving lanes. Player Pathway The first step for a player to begin their pathway is to be involved with the School and CBA Club Competition. This can then lead into the Canterbury Representative & Development Programme, National Under Age Programme and finally the Tall Blacks & Tall Ferns. The other programmes and tournaments support the players development to provide the best opportunities. Tall Blacks/Tall Ferns US College / NZ University/ANBL / Europe / NBA Rams / Wildcats National Under age Programme (NZ U16, U17 & U19) Mainland Eagles Academy circa 40 players from Sth Island supported to achieve US College dream Rams / Wildcats Development Players (approx. 5 each team) Canterbury Representative Programme Qualifying Teams (Qualifying, Queens Birthday & Nationals) Development Teams (Mainland Tournament) School/CBA Club Competition- U15 to Seniors Canterbury Selection Tournament (approx. 4 teams per age group) Summer Development League & Morning Skills Training (approx. 40 per age group) Page 5

6 Annual Calendar The Annual Calendar comprises of the following key components. Please see next page for U13 calendar. *Note U13 trials later in July. Summer Development League & Morning Skill Trainings Term 1 & 4 (Skill Development) U15, U17, U19* Open Representative Trials (Talent Identification) - March Selection Tournament (Easter) (approx. 4 teams per age group depending on player depth) National Qualifying Teams Selected (approx. 2 depending on depth) Mainland Development Teams Selected (approx. 2 depending on depth) Canterbury Qualifying Tournament (April) 2 teams from Canterbury region qualify for Nationals U15 & U17 Mainland Development Tournaments (July) National Qualifying Preparation Tournament (Queens Birthday) 1-2 teams depending on Basketball New Zealand Nationals (U15, U17 & U19) - July Page 6

7 Annual Calendar The calendar is broken into four windows to allow the player to have different emphases throughout the year. The windows help prioritise the player s trainings and allow coaches a context to work in collaboration. The four windows are below: 1. Camp Window Rams & Wildcats Camp 2. Skill Development Window Summer Development League (SDL) & Morning Skills Training (MST) 3. Representative Window Selection Tournament, National Qualifying Tournament, Qualifiers Tournament, Mainland Tournament, National Championships, Wildcats & Rams seasons 4. School window Year 9 & 10 South Islands, Secondary School South Island and National School Tournaments Training Load Throughout the different windows there will be varying training demands. We particularly want to decrease basketball load during heavy academic periods. With this in mind the 2016 NCEA Exams dates are 9 th November 2 nd December. Camp Window This is the best window for each player to have a 4 week active rest. With the Rams & Wildcats camp only going for 1 week in January, players can focus on playing other sports and general fitness away from basketball. Skill Development Window While the players are under the age of 16 it is encouraged that they play multiple sports. The skill development window places an emphasis on summer sport. The basketball that is offered is focused on individual skill development through the Summer Development League (1 training per week) and Morning Skills Training (1-2 trainings per week). While players are encouraged to be involved with the SDL & Morning Skills Training this can be adapted based on summer sports commitment. Representative Window During this window the predominate focus is on representative practices and games. We suggest players do 1-2 representative trainings during this window. This will coincide with 1-2 school trainings and 1-2 school games per week. During tournament times players may need to discuss with their coaches which practices and games take priority. School Window The focus shifts to performing for the players respective school teams. School practices & games become the emphasis. During this window we suggest players doing 2-4 school practices and 1-2 school games per week. Page 7
