What is Cougar Development?
The purpose of Cougar Domestic Development is to provide the development of basketball skills, fundamentals and gameplay understanding of our junior domestic players at ALL skill levels. Meaning it is a program that meets both participation and performance needs.
We want all players to enjoy their basketball experience, playing at their level of choice; whether it be social domestic basketball, competitive domestic basketball, or elite basketball (WABL). We know that at any level, the enjoyment of the game can be enhanced via players skills, fundamentals, gameplay understanding and the confidence that comes from developing these.
We believe that basketball can be enjoyed at all levels, and we value all basketball from participation to performance the same. However, we also realise there are different needs for basketball development across these levels.
We run sessions for Under 8’s, 10’s, 12’s and 14’s. With blue or gold sessions to suit different skill levels and aspirations (please see below what is a blue/gold session).
Please Note:
- Participants must be registered in a current domestic team with CBA, or
- For our pre-domestic session where participants must be registered to the waitlist and actively trying to join a team.
- We do not offer make up sessions.
- We do not offer proportional registrations or refunds.
It is important to us that participation and performance is balanced.
You will be able to register into the session of your choice. We encourage parents to discern which session is the most realistic and appropriate for their child’s development and enjoyment.
*If we feel a participant would be better suited to a particular session (Blue/Gold) following the first two weeks of the program, we will identify this with you and your child to ensure you are in the session that is the most beneficial to their development.
(Blue & Gold sessions of the same age group will run at the same time/venue on adjacent courts).
This program runs for 8 weeks and sessions are held on a Saturday, Monday and Wednesday for 45 minutes at Wally Hagan Stadium, Hamilton Hill.
