To focus fully on running the academy, we need to cut down on email traffic so for this coming season all information will be published on the Basketball Ireland website via the Academy page which can be found here:

 Basketball Ireland Academy Page

All information on the coaching staff, session calendar, gyms and times will be available here as well as a section with parent’s updates. Any information for parents will appear here as it is updated. Any email sent out will be viewable there as well so you can refer to them for answers before asking questions.

We expect to have all session times and venues up on the website well in advance of the weekends but for anything not on the website the head coach will be the first point of contact.

• Email addresses for head coaches are on the website in the coaches’ section on the academy page of the website.
• If there are last minute changes coaches will contact parents by email, but we hope this is not be required.
• Please make it a habit to always check the session details on the website before travel.

Once again we have an excellent group of coaches with a lot of experience, enthusiasm and knowledge in order to raise the standard of coaching and playing.

Under the academy head coaches Martin McGettrick and Ciaran O’Sullivan, 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 a number of current or former international coaches along with many coaches with assistant coach experience at this level so the players are learning from the very best.

Below you will see 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.
• The payment system will be sent out by email and put on the website in the coming weeks once we get registrations completed.

The cost of Academy is €220 for the year up until the end of May which includes the players academy vest.

As already communicated, we do intend to hold a two day,  one night camp which will be optional but will carry an extra charge, we are trying to secure a new venue and once that is finalised we will communicate this.
