The Metropolitan Development Program (MDP) is a BNSW Talent Identification & Individual & Team Development Program for NSW Metropolitan U/11, U/13 & U/15 Age Basketball Athletes
Emphasis in the camps associated with this program is on the identification of talented athletes and on the aspects of both their individual and team development.
It is designed mainly for any presently aged U/11players and for presently aged U/13 & U/15 Association Representative Players who will be trying out to play in their Association’s U/14 & U/16 Representative Teams next year.
As in all talent ID programs, there are selection processes in place at the first camp where players are identified and selected to participate in the following two camps that make up the program. At the completion of the program, two teams each of boys and of girls from the U/13 & U/15 divisions will be selected to represent in the U/14, U/15 & U/16 Metropolitan Development Tour Teams in January 2008.
Participants who take part in this program must accept that they may not necessarily be selected then invited to move through to the next level.
