A vital component in the identification and development of future Australian Basketball stars, the Australian Development Camp allows Basketball Australia to see some of the country’s top young prospects exposed to elite-level development programs for the first time. The camp will see both our wheelchair and able-bodied athletes continue to develop the necessary skills for international competition, with the ultimate goal of national team selection. Through the years, some of Australia’s biggest stars have been uncovered at the ADC, including Jayco Opals stars Lauren Jackson, Penny Taylor, Jenni Screen and, more recently, rising star Stephanie Talbot. Airbnb Boomers stars , , and also got their break through the ADC program. The summer 2015 edition of the ADC will take place over five days from 19-23 January and will be run by Boomers Head Coach Andrej Lemanis, Opals Head Coach and Rollers Head Coach Ben Ettridge. Lemanis, Joyce and Ettridge will be supported by National Shooting Coach and Talent Identification Manager Brad Davidson, BA Centre of Excellence Coaches and a selection of coaches from across Australia.

Gold Coast Basketball has introduced a Zero Tolerance Policy in regard to poor spectator behaviour at junior competition games. This policy is not aimed at stifling or diminishing healthy supportive cheering or the ability of all spectators and parents to enjoy the spectacle of junior sport but rather to ensure that the support is done in a manner deemed appropriate under the Codes on Conduct.

On game days you will notice signage up for Conditions of Entry, the Zero Tolerance, Play By the Rules and Codes of Conduct which all attendees are to abide by.

Each game day will have a Court Controller and Referee Supervisor who are easily identifiable in orange vests that are rostered on by Gold Coast Basketball and for each individual game there will be a Court Marshall who will be in a yellow vest. The Court Marshall will be a supporter of one of the teams as outlined by Gold Coast Basketball for that week. It is the role of all of these people to ensure a safe environment is maintained for all.

For full information on their role in monitoring behaviour please read the policy here : http://www.sportingpulse.com/get_file.cgi?id=3378285
