Raiwaqa development tour

TWO Raiwaqa development teams will tour Australia next year as part of a basketball development program. Raiwaqa Basketball coordinator Saula Koroi said the 2012 tour was definitely on. Koroi said the tour was to reward their youth development program which he said was success.

Koroi said they would send an Under-10 and Under-15 team. "Our development program has been running well over the past years and majority of players in teams playing in our Raiwaqa competition come through this program," Koroi said.

"A number of players who went through this development program have graduated into the national junior basketball teams. "So this tour will be a big boost to our young basketball players as they will be given the opportunity to visit a new country and also play basketball with junior players in Australia." The junior basketball development program games continued at Ed's Court in Raiwaqa yesterday.
