Spectres Trio Named to Australian Selection Camp

Nunawading Basketball is thrilled to announce that three of our very own athletes, Tom Dammers, Charlie Wilson, and Alex Mabbott, have been selected to attend the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra for a prestigious selection camp ahead of the upcoming FIBA U15 Oceania Cup. This camp, which will run from November 11-16, 2024, serves as a crucial step in the journey toward representing Australia on the international stage.

The FIBA U15 Oceania Cup is a significant event, offering young athletes not only invaluable tournament experience but also the chance to secure a spot in the 2025 FIBA Under 16 Asia Cup, with the top two teams from Oceania advancing.

Peter Lonergan, General Manager of the Centre of Excellence and Performance Pathways, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming camp: “This camp heralds the start of the qualification journey for the 2026 Under 17 World Cup, and for these young athletes, it will be their first taste of a green and gold camp environment. We are excited about the talent in the two selected squads after talent identification at the recent Australian Under 16 Championships in Bendigo and look forward to the camp.”

Nunawading Basketball is immensely proud of Tom, Charlie, and Alex for their selection and wish them the best as they prepare to showcase their skills and determination on the national stage. Their inclusion in this elite group reflects their hard work and commitment to their development, and we look forward to supporting them on their journey to international success.
