New Zealand U15 Boys and Girls Basketball teams named

Picture
Basketball New Zealand has named the New Zealand Boys’ and Girls’ basketball teams to compete in the FIBA Oceania U15 Championships in December this year, to be held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
 
This comes after a selection camp held over Labour Weekend.
 
The Australian team will again step into the FIBA Oceania event as favourites for the Boys competion. Yet the Junior Tall Blacks did win the U18 Oceania event in 2016. That example proved the young Kiwi teams can match that level, and this Under 15 New Zealand team has the chance to make history by being the first U15 Kiwi team to do so.
 
“The FIBA Oceania Under 15 Championships will be a new and exciting experience for our group,” said Head coach Morgan Maskell Australia will be a very tough opponent as per usual, but the programmes in Guam and Samoa are on the rise and will also present a challenge to us at the tournament as well.”
 
Girls Head Coach Natalie Visger, says it was tough to narrow the team to 12 players.
“This was a very prepared group coming into camp, super switched-on and competitive.  Girls in New Zealand are starting to choose basketball earlier and it showed at camp with their ability to shoot the ball.
 
“This is a different group than last year’s. We lack some length in certain spots, but will make up for it with resilience and tenacity for 94 feet.  We have some shooters, some versatile forwards, and kids that can attack the rim.  I like the speed and versatility that we have. Pace won’t be an issue for us.  This group has high character and that means a lot.
 
“Heading to PNG to compete with this group will be an adventure and we will continue to improve as we go on this journey together.  Our goal is to develop these young ladies and to do our best to qualify for the Asia Champs in 2019,” says Coach Visger.
