Monash University will host a High Performance Basketball Camp for Elite Juniors aged 14-17 years in September.  The camp comes as another instalment in Monash University’s basketball development program following the highly successful camp held in July.

The camp will be run by Dale Waters, current head coach for the Women’s National Basketball League Dandenong Rangers and Monash University’s Director of Basketball, and will be held at the Monash University High Performance Sport Centre.

Dale, who was recently named head coach of the Australian Women’s Basketball Under 19 team to compete at the FIBA U19 World Championships in 2011 brings with him an experienced national level coaching team who will conduct the two day camp.

Players will be taken through a combination of basketball specific physical testing, team concept strategies and individual skills, things that Dale says will assist players as they move into the next level of basketball competition.

"The camp aims to assist players in developing a complete game through a combination of concentrated skill development and specific physical preparation including core strength, agility and shooting analysis” Dale said.

Upon completion of the camp players will receive training programs and a development plan aimed to assist their training once they return to their home programs.

Places are limited and applications close Friday 18 September.
