Dear ParentsFirstly congratulations on child’s selection to the Basketball Ireland U14 Regional Academy. We have been working very hard all summer on streaming lining the communication and planning piece of the Academy and will continue to do so through out the year. We will be putting all the Academy information on the Basketball Ireland website under the International Tab/Academy. All information on the coaching staff, session calendar, gyms and times will be available here. We hope to have all of these up well in advance but at the moment some regions have more completed in this area. As soon as we have gyms confirmed the times will go straight up on the website. We don’t expect to have any late changes or cancelations but if the very rare occasion that there is the head coaches will contact you by email with details. We have also worked on getting a group of coaches with Experience Enthusiasm and Knowledge together in order to raise the standard of coaching and playing. Under the Academy Head Coaches Martin McGettrick and Colin O’Reilly the Regional Head coaches and their staff will be coaching from a syllabus put together to improve the standard of the players and give them the knowledge they will need to play basketball at an elite level. Included in the U14 staff there are 7 current or former international head coaches along with many coaches with Assistant coach experience at this level so the players are learning from the very best. Also on the website you will have already seen the confirmed players selected to each Academy along with a code next to each player. Please use this code along with the players names for communication especially when it comes to online payments. We have a new payment system this year which should make things easier but it won’t be up and running until the end of next week at the earliest. The cost of Academy is €320 for the year up until the end of May and includes the 2 day 1 night camp at Gormanston where all food and accommodation is provided. It also includes an Academy playing kit which they should arrive by the end of October now the selections have taken place. Payments will be due in 3 instalments with the camp payment being optional and the system and times will be outlined in an email once finalised. We hope all players will attend the camp as it is a great opportunity for players from around the country to come together and see the standard as well as being coached by other academy coaches which are among the best coaches in the country. Communication LinesIn order to make sure all issues are covered and we are able to answer any questions quickly please check the website for all information first before sending emails. If the answer is not there and it is about a training session or confirming you can not make something please communicate to the head coach of your regional academy.
