The Solomon Islands Basketball Federation has announced that the national Under-23 women’s basketball team left the country over the weekend for Australia to take part in the U-23 Nations League High Performance Camp on the Gold Coast.
According to SIBF the team is set to join fellow Pacific nations Fiji, New Caledonia and Tonga in the weeklong regional development program.
“The camp is expected to provide valuable opportunities for players, referees and coaches through a series of specialised breakout sessions aimed at strengthening basketball development across the Pacific region,” the statement said.
SIBF describes the trip as an important opportunity for the young Solomon Islands athletes to gain international exposure, improve their skills and build stronger regional connections through the sport.
The federation also expressed gratitude to Pacific Aus Sports for supporting the program and making the trip possible for the Solomon Islands delegation.
“Massive shoutout to Pacific Aus Sports for making this trip happen. Let’s go girls,” the federation said.
The initiative is also supported by the Australian High Commission (AHC), Solomon Islands as part of ongoing efforts to promote sports development and youth participation across the Pacific.
The U-23 Nations League High Performance Camp is expected to bring together some of the region’s emerging basketball talents as teams prepare to strengthen their performance pathways and international competitiveness.
