Basketball Victoria’s High Performance staff has selected the Metropolitan teams to attend next year’s Kumon Country-Metro Challenge.
Picked from recent tryout days, Metropolitan athletes in U18, U16, U15 and U14 age groups have earned selection for the four-day tournament in January 2022.
Basketball Victoria has selected 22 Metropolitan teams to attend the Kumon Country-Metro Challenge, which has temporarily replaced the Southern Cross Challenge in 2022 due to state border closures and travel concerns. Both Country and Metropolitan representatives will earn insight into development and higher-level gameplay across this elite tournament.
The 2022 Kumon Country-Metro Challenge will be held at the State Basketball Centre, 291 George St, Wantirna South from 14-17 January 2022.
