The players for the 2022-2023 Basketball Ireland U14 Boys Academies have been selected, and can be viewed at the bottom of this page. Basketball Ireland wishes to thank all players that attended the Talent Identification Sessions, especially for the effort made by each and every player in the sessions.
With 400 players at this age group across the country we rely on information being correct on the database
If you do not wish to take up this place in the academy, please let us know by completing this quick form so we can give the place to someone else.
To confirm your child does not wish to attend the academy:
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.
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.
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.
To make sure all issues are covered, and we are able to answer any questions quickly please check the academy pages on the website for all information first before sending emails.
List of Head Coach emails is on the coaches’ section of the academy website page.
For the first time, Basketball Ireland are able to offer scholarships for the academy.
There are 26 Elite scholarships that will be awarded at the end of the year based on coaches feedback on players from the under 14 and under 15 age groups.
We also have 22 full scholarships for economically disadvantaged families to be shared across the under 14 age group with a further 14 being available to the under 15 age group. These may be split into some half scholarships depending on circumstances and the number of worthy applications we receive.
The idea behind these scholarships is to ensure that no talented basketball players miss out on joining the academy due to the financial requirements involved. Our aim is to help financially those most in need of assistance, so we hope parents will apply in confidence if help is required.
The deadline for applications is 21st of October and we will reply to all applications to confirm if you are successful or not no later that Wednesday 26th of October.
We will be sending out payment details to all those that have registered on the academy as soon as possible after this date.
Applications are by way of form only.
