WHAT IS REPRESENTATIVE BASKETBALL
Representative basketball is run through the VJBL in Victoria. Domestic Associations select players from their competitions to play on Friday nights under a unified banner, in the case of Westgate, The Westgate Imperials.
There are multiple grades and divisions and a long but effective grading process before an 18 round season is played. But ultimately rep basketball is a year round program.
Training is twice a week. Generally a Sunday and one weeknight.
Age groups: u12s to u21s. (There are other competitions for older age groups)
Teams are from all over Victoria, so travel is a lot more extensive than domestic.
Rep basketball is a fantastic experience for players keen to challenge themselves and with a love for the game.
- The skill level is higher.
- The amount of training provided is extensive (and coaches must be accredited to coach at Rep level)
