Solomon Islands to train in Coffs Harbour

The Solomon Island Basketball Federation were successful in getting a large financial grant through their National Olympic Committee to assit them in preparations to the updoming SPG's. FIBA Oceania offered to assist with planning and organising a suitable training regime for the teams. Initially it was thought the teams should participate in the Arafura Games in Darwin, but this option was too expensive.

It was agreed that the teams would travel to the home of FIBA Oceania, Coffs Harbour, and undertake a week long training program, commening 15th June. Coordinating the camp, Judy Smith said the local basketball association and near-by associations would be able to provide high level competition to assist the development of the team. Plus the team will have access to training courts during the day. FIBA Oceania's Development Manager Regan Kama will be on hand to help with the coaching, and it is hoped that ZDO Eddie Calic might be in Coffs Harbour during the camp tim also. Local eating and accommodation venues have been most generous in offering very competitive prices to enable the Solomons Island teams to train in Coffs Harbour.
