   Basketball NSW Development Programs - Requests For Special Consideration

From time to time situations may arise where due to compelling circumstances athletes are unable to participate in preceding programs that lead to inclusion in further programs.

In these instances athletes can apply for “special consideration” whereby Basketball NSW will ascertain whether there may be an opportunity available for such athletes to participate in any further stages of particular development programs.

Instances of approval for special consideration being granted are rare, as priority is first given to all participating athletes, with special consideration only then given to non-participating athletes.

Special consideration applications are only applicable for the following situations:

• unavailability to participate due to injury
• unavailability to participate due to a long-standing commitment

All special consideration forms will be evaluated by Basketball NSW based on each athlete’s own individual circumstances, with the application needing to be well substantiated prior to being considered – e.g. medical certificate.

Please note that participation in previous BNSW development programs does not guarantee special consideration approval, and that any decisions made by Basketball NSW in this process are final.

The BNSW Special Consideration Form is located at the side menu of this page.
