The South West Sydney Academy of Sport implements high performance programs for talented young athletes from South West Sydney across a number of sports.
The Academy implements a 3x3 Basketball performance pathway program as a licensed operator partnering with NBL 3x3Hustle, and is provided by high performance coaching staff, independently of a traditional 5v5 basketball program.
This program is targeted for athletes interested in gaining selection to future state and national high performance pathway 3x3 teams, with a focus on refining skill development and match play within the 3x3 brand of basketball throughout training and participation in identified 3x3 Hustle events.
Athletes competing in Association representative teams are also invited to nominate, as are athletes progressing from the Academy's UAA Basketball program, BNSW DAP and SPP programs.
Develop athletes to be competitive, with a fundamentally sound base.
Provide fundamental individual skill development and leadership sessions for athletes during traditional representative off-season programs, to participate within the NBL Hustle and FIBA 3x3 High Performance Pathways.
Compliment athletes participation within existing traditional local, representative and Academy basketball pathways.
Prepare athletes for 3x3 High Performance trials and pathway programs, such as the 3x3 Pro Hustle tours, CLB 3x3 Leagues or future National representation.
The South West Sydney Academy of Sport 3x3 Basketball program mirrors those conducted by Regional Academies of Sport, and as such is designed to introduce athletes to the State and National high performance pathway.
The program provides access to pathway performance coaching, analysis of individual skill and development within a squad structure, sports science testing, and access to high performance strength and conditioning programs.
And include training in the 3x3 Style of Play along with technical and tactical skill development.
The training program will include fundamental and pathway skill development and education, specific to 3x3 Basketball.
The Strength and Conditioning program will include the Academy testing battery and strength and conditioning curriculum, as well as include sport-specific training elements, with relevant tests for each.
Key performance opportunities will be selected to best suit the current development level of athletes, and may include events scheduled in conjunction with other NSW Regional Academies of Sport and/or camp-like training environments.
A large range of athlete appropriate education workshops such as sport psychology, nutrition, clean sport and sport integrity awareness, public speaking, resilience, media training, sports medicine and injury prevention are also undertaken as a part of the regular training program.
Program Coordinator: Jeff Cooper
Manager: Sue Paulic and Peter Biela
In addition;
The 3x3 Basketball squad is selected based on the athletes performance at one or multiple open trial/s.
The trial will feature a number of skill and drill components, followed by a series of trial games to assess the athletes skill and potential.
Elements of sport science testing and/or fitness assessment may be conducted as a part of the trial, however there is no required "pass mark" for these elements to be achieved.
The Academy may select up to 16 athletes across both Males and Females across the 16&U and 18&U age groups within the 3x3 Basketball program.
Whilst the Academy will select a squad, consideration will be given to the ability to form teams of four (4) athletes for participation in 3x3 events as a part of the program.
Final selections, number of athletes and squad composition will be made dependant on the talent available during the trial process.
