U13 Supercity Basketball Competition Underway

Representative Season

Two weeks ago the U13 representative season started for all ABSL teams as the Supercity Basketball Competition went underway. Nine ABSL teams are part of this great development competition, with four boy’s teams from Counties Manukau, two teams from Waitakere West and two teams from Auckland competing weekly. Counties Manukau U13 girls are the only ABSL team competing in the girl’s competition, who are in one pool alongside the other competing teams. All boy’s teams are split into four pools and play against each other over the course of the season. The teams face challenges against other associations such as Harbour, Coast, Franklin and Waikato. The venues for this competition are great and include AUT North Shore Campus Stadium, Trusts Stadium and Breakers Courts which have definitely motivated the players. They have had a feel of playing on the big stage which will benefit them as they go up through the representative system.

All teams have competed well, played hard and have shown great skills during their first two games. The Counties Manukau U13 girls have gotten off to a great start with two wins against Harbour B and Franklin Basketball, which shows the hard work in training paying off. The boy’s competition has had a mixed bag of results. However, the way each team has played has made each coach under ABSL’s associations proud of their efforts. As the competition progresses, an update of every round will be posted up.
