Info

There was excellent participation in this meeting and the more practical approach employed was appreciated by all. Thank you to all coaches for their contributions and feedback, I recently attended the Men‟s World Championships in Turkey and was humbled to be elected as the World Association Basketball Coaches (WABC) President. The WABC aims to raise coaching standards worldwide. I am especially keen to see the coaching standards in the Oceania region are improved. We need to provide players with experiences in practices, tournaments and competitions; we are obliged to share with our fellow coaches our experiences to help them improve. We need to promote and be responsible for developing coaches in our respective countries. We need to invite other coaches to our practices and run clinics for our locals to improve the standard of coaching and play. Coaches are more than welcome to copy or duplicate the 2010 OYT coaches handout to other coaches, if you can give information to one coach you could be ultimately affecting 18 or 20 players. Our challenge is to take our experiences and share to fellow coaches to raise the level of play in the Oceania region, each federation executive should have someone responsible for the improvement of coaches. Congratulations to you all on the player clinics and standards witnessed at this tournament, the teams are much better prepared and they are a credit to you, keep learning and strive for higher standards. Best wishes for the remainder of the tournament and be proud we are coaches. Coaches Handout At the beginning of the tournament each coach received a coach‟s handout, these proved to be a highly sought after document. The coach‟s handout included: a schedule of the coaches program youth tournament philosophy an outline of the player clinics, including each station official rules for FIBA 33 reading and understanding statistics scouting information game preparation The coaches handout was formatted in a very good size, allowing it to be easily carried around and accessed. Recommendations Space be provided throughout the coaching handout after each station for coaches to make notes. Player coaching clinics FORMAT There were 3 days of player clinics, Player Clinic 1 (due to limited time and spacing) only included American Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti and Vanuatu. This consisted of a mass demonstration and then separation to baskets of numerous basic skills. Each coach was allocated a skills station to reinforce the mass demonstration. (See Coaches handout for details of areas covered) Player clinic 2 and 3 consisted of 5 Fundamental Stations. The players were separated into 5 groups, the groups comprised players from different countries, and rotated through each station. 30 minutes was then held teaching 3 on 3 offensive play relating to the 3 on 3 tournament to be conducted. Shooting competitions were conducted to conclude the player clinics (See Coaches handout for details of areas covered) Areas to be covered were decided on through evaluations of areas of weakness from the 2008 OYT, evaluations from visits to Oceania countries by Regan Kama and my observations and evaluations of International trends. Team coaches were allocated and received demonstrations to each station at the first meeting. This proved successful as the coaches became more vocal, confident and involved in the clinics. The location and rotation of the clinic stations was given to coaches at meeting one. Report on the 8 th FIBA Oceania Youth Tournament – New Caledonia, 2010 14
Pre Clinic and clinic organisation was by far the best from all previous tournaments. Recommendations Having 5 stations in one area was difficult with the space provided in both venues Due to 1 court venues the clinic was separated, it would be ideal to have the players clinic in one venue Invite local coaches and other local basketball community members to attend and listen to the clinics. Video the first coaches‟ clinic, where we do a walk through and explain the stations. The CD could be edited and given to the coaches either at the end of the tournament, or sent to them after the tournament. All –Star selections The selection process was outlined at the beginning of the tournament in the first coaches meeting it consisted of: Nomination of coaches – due before the tournament Nominate 5 of your own best players that are eligible for selection – form due at the technical meeting. Nominate 10 pacific island all-star players not in your team – form due at the 2 nd coaches meeting. The selection guideline was outlined at the beginning of the tournament in the first coaches meeting and is also listed in the coach‟s handout. There was much better compliance from coaches with player nominations than from previous tournaments, and coached seemed more aware of the standards required when nominating players. A number of players were unavailable for selection because of academic or personal commitments. 10 men players, 10 women players, 2 coaches, 2 managers, 2 referees and 2 men reserves and 2 women reserves were selected for the all-star tour Each all-star player and coach received an all star booklet which included: o Covering letter o Diary for pre tournament preparation o Individual program o Fitness program o General offensive and defensive plays It was extremely helpful to have all nominations from own coaches and then nominations from other coaches compiled into a one page document for coaches to review when making decisions. Recommendations The statistics we received were excellent, maybe a set of statistics after the round games would be of further assistance. Change the name of the “Allstar team” to the “Oceania Representative team” as not all players are available for selection. Finally I would like to make special acknowledgements to the following people. The support, assistance and cohesiveness of the people listed below made the event the success that it was. To Steve Smith, Matt Shanahan, Regan Kama, Judy Smith, Ryan Burns, and Sarah Mottram for their support, organisation and efficient conduct of the tournament. To the coaches and players for the way they entered into the spirit of the clinics. To the coaches for the work they did with their team before and during the tournament and for their constructive participation in our meetings To the New Caledonia basketball fraternity for welcoming us to their country and their support throughout the tournament.
