It was all steam ahead on Saturday as the the Wyndham Basketball Junior Representative Super Camp returned.
Across six hours more than 400 players and 40 coaches took part in on court and off court sessions in preparation for the upcoming annual Australia Day tournament and return of the Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) grading phase two.
Led by representative coaching director and Big V women’s Matt Stephens the day comprised of skills, drills and plays on the court under the expert eye of the Wyndham Basketball junior representative coaches, along with the Big coaches, Stuart McMurray, Brian Rolph and Renee Dayao.
Big V players assisted as well.
Off court sessions were led by industry leading expert Cam Rigby for strength and conditioning and mindset by Darren Hindle.
“It was a great turn out for our program with all available players and coaches on the floor” Stephens said.
“Coming back from the Christmas and New Year break, everyone is able to activate and prepare for a big 2026. We are striving to build the holistic basketball player, from the skills and fundamentals on the court, to off the court having them mentally and emotionally ready with a strong and healthy mindset.”
The focus now moves to the Australia Day tournament with all teams participating. The annual tournament across four days starting Friday 23 January and concluding on Australian Day.
Wyndham representative coordinator Jackie Stephens said the tournament is a great opportunity for the teams to blow out the holiday cobwebs and continue to build on the on-court success and team camaraderie off the court.
VJBL grading phase 2 returns Friday 31 January, with teams still in contention for the Victorian championship (VC) level and other levels of competition.
Under-12 girls 1, under-14 boys 1 and under-16 boys Wyndham 1 have already qualified for VC in 2026.
