JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 

JDP Academy

The JDP (Junior Development Program) is a 6 week programme for U12 and U14 athletes designed to provide quality coaching and support player development. Our objective is to expose promising young athletes to high quality basketball to help develop athletes for school or rep basketball. 

The JDP will introduce its players to key concepts and techniques that will help them have fun, play well and have future opportunities. Our goal is to introduce players to the Hibiscus Coast Style of Play which promotes motion style principles that value position-less play, game understanding and a flexible skill set. We see this as an enjoyable and effective way to play. 

Following the academy players can trial for our Representative teams to participate in the Junior Representative Season.
