8th Oceania Youth Basketball Tournament Report ... - Fiba Oceania

Quality and quantity of food improved as week went on, but could still improve.
Access to other transportation would have helped with food purchases, scouting for coaches.
Would have been good to have an organised tour eg: to the beach
Kone trip was disappointing
Laundry arrangement needs clarification at start of tournament, rather than changing mid-way.
Speak with teams regarding meals and transport before finalising details.
Cultural night was outstanding. Great to see all countries putting work into performances.
Coaches’ Comments from the Survey:
The tournament was good.
It was very unhealthy and unhygienic to get water from the toilet and change room areas.
I do not understand why some teams had to travel 3 hours to play and not get good accommodation
and food. It was pretty unfair.
Snack food should have been available to fuel athletes.
A results board was needed at the Village.
Car access for scouting and food purchase.
The girls could not stay to support their boy‟s team as the bus was always waiting.
The restaurant shut too early in the morning.
Good place for accommodation, no temptation to go out.
The player clinics would be better suited prior to the tournament starting. Coaches could work
more on their development during the week then through scouting and game preparation.
Players needed more food to play at optimum levels.
Accommodation needs to be better and more suited to climate.
Very poor standard accommodation and transports conditions at Kone.
Operation of actual games, and the way the tournament was run, has been to a very high standard.
For further development of island players, I suggest that teams should have to play man for at least
one half of each game.
Need access to better areas for recovery.
One playing venue would be better for scouting purposes
Lectures for coaches during the week for development as well.
