All Star Teams As part of the FIBA Oceania Development Program, an All Star team is selected from the Pacific Island teams at the Youth Tournament to represent at an elite competition in the following year. From the New Caledonia tournament, 10 male and 10 female players, 2 coaches, 2 referees and 2 managers were selected to represent FIBA Oceania at the Australian Junior Country Championships to be held in Albury during February 2011. The All Star tour will be a two week event. The first week will be a training camp, while the second week will be participation in the Championships. Selection of the All Star team: Prior to the tournament, coaches, managers and referees were asked to nominate themselves for those positions. People were selected to these positions after viewing their performances during the tournament. At the technical meeting, all team coaches were asked to nominate a maximum of 5 players from their team for All Star selection. During the tournament the coaches were asked to nominated players from the teams they played against. These two lists of players were combined, and names were placed on a priority order, depending on the position they played. The selection panel for the tournament was Patrick Hunt, Matt Shanahan and Regan Kama, with the All Star coaches coming into the selection panel during the later part of the program. The selection panel consulted every evening of the tournament, refining their lists and discussing selections. A squad of 15, with a top 10, was determined. The All Star coaches were given the opportunity to change the list of 10 at this point. A player „Play Book and Home Program‟ was prepared prior to the tournament and handed to each All Star player on their announcement. All members of the All Star teams will report to the FIBA Oceania office each week, showing their training regime in the previous week. This monitoring process will satisfy the All Star staff that the players are undertaking their program, and should arrive in Albury fit and ready to play, and with a good understanding of the plays.

Clinics and Workshops FIBA Oceania continued the tradition of conducting a range of educational courses during the Youth Tournament. In New Caledonia the clinics were: Player and Coach Education, conducted by Patrick Hunt, President of World Association of Basketball Coaches (WABC) HIV/AIDS awareness clinic, conducted by the Suva-based ONOC STOP HIV staff An anti-doping clinic, conducted by Natanya Potoi from the Regional Anti-Doping Organisation from ONOC in Fiji The clinics were scheduled into the morning of the first 3 days of the tournament and were conducted at the Juene Scene and Mont Dore facilities. Having 2 different venues for the clinics proved challenging, but suitable arrangements were put in place to meet these challenges. Player and Coach Clinics: During the tournament every team was able to participate in 2 x 2 hour clinics under the supervision of Patrick Hunt, while all island teams were able to attend a third 2 hour session. The clinics were organized as station work, with national coaches teaching each of the station activities. National coaches were taught the practical and theory components of the stations they would staff they during the coaches clinics. A number of follow-up coaches meetings were held during the tournament to discuss coaching skills and philosophies. It was pleasing to see the coaches from Australia and New Zealand sharing their knowledge and expertise with island coaches throughout the tournament. Brigitte Langomazino, the Tahitian women‟s coach, invited Matt Shanahan to a number of her training sessions, taking advantage of FIBA Oceania‟s coaching staff offer to help wherever possible. HIV/AIDS Awareness: With the spread of the HIV virus in the Pacific region, the Youth Tournament continues to be an opportunity to provide all of our young players with valuable and correct information on the dangers of HIV. The sessions conducted by the STOP HIV Team included defining HIV and AIDS; the status of HIV in Oceania and globally; the transmission modes of HIV; the ABC's of HIV prevention and modified games that promote sport skills, life skills and how these are linked to HIV. The STOP HIV team included leader Margaret Eastgate and peer leaders Ana Finau-Ah Yuk and Jamie Toro. The workshops provided an excellent range of information and options to the players, and certainly made all participants aware of the dangers of HIV and its spread across our region. Anti-Doping: The anti-doping clinics were conducted by Natanya Potoi from the Suva-based Regional Anti-Doping Organisation (RADO), which is part of the Oceania National Olympic Committee. Each team attended a 2 hour clinic in which they learnt about the misuse of drugs in sport, the types of pharmaceutical medicines that elite athletes can mistakenly take and also about the method of actually testing an athlete. The clinics included inter-active computer games, personal testaments and group activities. To their surprise and delight, every participant at the anti-doping clinic received a free t-shirt, promoting the RADO message. To continue the „clean game‟ message, every bench chairman wore a bright orange FIBA „Clean Game‟ t-shirt. „Clean Game‟ logos appeared on the competition backboards.
