The TIS basketball program is a high performance development program that provides a daily training environment for Basketball Australia’s National Performance Program (NPP).

It works with talented Tasmanian basketball athletes who have been identified on Basketball Australia’s national depth charts and assists with individual athlete’s progression into national junior and eventual senior teams.

TIS athletes train daily with the program and also receive competition exposure through national and international tour opportunities.

Athletes selected to TIS scholarship tiers are former or current members of the TIS Emerging Talent Squad (ETS). The program identifies basketball athletes aged 13 to 18-years and develops individual and team skills, physical preparation as well as holistic development in nutrition, sports psychology and wellbeing. This enables athletes to compete successfully at a national and international level.

The TIS cycling program has had another great year in 2012- 13, with both junior and senior athletes competing locally, nationally and internationally with great success.

One of the memorable highlights was Richie Porte’s exceptional efforts in the 2012 , where he rode in critical support of eventual overall winner .

TIS cyclists train in various locations around the state and the program provides athletes with expert coaching support, sports science, strength and conditioning, and other specialised services such as ACE support.

TIS’s support of Tasmania’s developmental cycling team, Team Polygon Australia, has continued to enhance its scholarship program athletes, with the majority of both the women’s and men’s having participated in national road series events during 2012- 13. This partnership has continued into the 2013 road season, providing key athletes with much needed national and international exposure to elite road races.

The TIS program continues to build, aiming to be a significant contributor to national junior and senior teams over the next three years, including the and 2016 Olympic Games, with athletes competing in a number of cycling categories.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS • 2012 Georgia Baker 1st world junior U19 scratch race title, 1st world junior U19 team pursuit title (world record time). • 2012 Cameron Wurf 2nd overall classification at the Tour of Qinghai Lake, China.

TIS Annual Report 12/13 : Page 23 Hockey

The TIS hockey program continues to assist and develop players to enable them to achieve international selection.

The TIS coaches and network of consultants have worked closely to provide the necessary guidance to our aspiring athletes.

2012-13 saw the hockey program adopt a scholarship focus on potential international athletes, thus lowering the age focus.

Olympic bronze medals for Tim Deavin and Eddie Ockenden were a program highlight, as well as having two more scholarship holders – Nick Budgeon and Jeremy Edwards – receive their first international caps.

Amelia Spence has gained junior world cup selection, along with former TIS scholarship holder Nina Khoury.

Both program coaches had national engagement with junior international events.

The program has also invested in new hardware, enabling the program to stay in touch with new technology.
