2024/25 Program Information

The 2023/24 Program is currently running. Nominations for the 2024/25 Program will open in August.

The Hunter Academy of Sport basketball program is supported by Central Coast Granite and provides a unique opportunity for local basketball players looking to gain further individual skill development and competition opportunities that will assist them in their chances of gaining future state team selection and higher honours.

The Basketball program runs annually from October (trials) to April (representative Basketball off season) with regular squad training sessions focused on individual skill development. Team elements are introduced leading into competition opportunities such as Inter-Academy Camp and the annual Your Local Club Academy Games, which conclude the program each year in April.

In addition to on-court training sessions and competition opportunities, athletes receive access to sport science testing and educational seminars to assist with their personal development off the basketball court.

The Hunter Academy of Sport basketball program ‘sits’ between local representative basketball and higher order representation such as NSW State Country Team selection.

The Academy program exists to up-skill athletes and assist them in progressing to higher representation in the sport of basketball.

The Academy uses the FTEM Model of athlete development and the CCAS basketball program generally sits around the ‘T1’ – ‘T2’ level within the FTEM Model of athlete development.  This program is endorsed by BNSW as a ‘step’ in the BNSW athlete pathway.
