The Limestone Coast Academy of Sport (LCAS) basketball program provides high-performance coaching and training opportunities to help athletes develop their skills and progress to higher levels of competition.

Endorsed by Basketball SA, the program represents the first step in the elite athlete pathway. It bridges the gap between local representative basketball and higher-order opportunities such as state squad selection, state team representation, and entry into Basketball SA’s development programs.

Athletes selected for the program will receive access to:

  • Intensive training sessions with elite local coaches
  • Skill development tailored to both individual and team play
  • Inter-Academy development camps
  • Injury prevention screenings and strength & conditioning programs
  • Sports science fitness testing and monitoring
  • Athlete education seminars covering performance, wellbeing, and personal development

To be considered for the 2026 LCAS Basketball Program, athletes must:

  • Fall within the Academy’s targeted age categories (e.g., U16 or U18)
  • Reside, attend school, or train within the LCAS catchment area
  • Be a current registered member of Basketball SA (via a local association/club)
  • Submit a nomination form before the advertised closing date

 

The following factors may be taken into account during selection:

  • Performance and results at relevant competitions and events
  • Technical and tactical ability
  • Physical attributes and athletic potential
  • Competitive drive and commitment to training
  • Individual application
  • Coachability and behaviour
