The Slovenian Basketball Federation Youth Program

He was also head coach of Yugoslavian National Men’s team (Gold medal at 1987 Mediterranean Games), and the Cadets National team (gold, silver, and bronze medals at European Championships). He was an assistant coach of the Yugoslavian Senior National teams at the 1984 and 1988 Olympics Games and at the 1989 European Championship. In 1993 he was head coach of Slovenian national team at the European Championship.

INTRODUCTION

Slovenia, one of the smallest European countries, became an independent state in 1991 and a member of FIBA in 1992. We have only about two million citizens and that puts Slovenia in 40th place among the 50 members of FIBA-Europe. From one viewpoint, this is a positive aspect because the whole basketball process is more controllable and transparent, but it can also be seen as a weakness. Nevertheless, during the years of the Slovenian independence a lot of good basketball results have been achieved and these results are proof that we have made good use of our limited supply of basketball players. While we don’t have many players to pick from compared to larger countries, we do have talented young athletes who are first discovered by coaches for their club teams, later for regional teams, and finally, for national teams.

Our record speaks for itself. The Slovenian National Teams have participated in the official FIBA international competitions since 1993. The Men’s National Team qualified for six European Championships, the Young Men National Team qualified for five European and one World Championship, the Junior Men participated in four European and one World Championship, and the Cadet National Team qualified for two European Championships. The Cadet Women’s National Team qualified for the European Championship and the Junior Women National Team competed in the European Championship 2002, which was held in Slovenia. The Slovenian National teams won one European Championship title (Young Men in 2000) and won two second places (Young Men in 1998 and Junior Men) in 2002.

Slovenian basketball members have always been taught that good results could be achieved only with practice sessions that were well designed and executed. We are especially aware that our basketball talent pool is small due to the size of our country so we pay extra attention to each and every player we feel has the potential to become a top player.

Our basketball players have gone on to achieve greater acclaim out of the country. Here is a current list of Slovenian basketball players who went through the Slovenian Basketball Federation Youth Program and are now playing in the NBA, for top European basketball clubs, and for an American university team:

Radoslav Nesterovic (Italy, NBA Minnesota Timberwolves), Marko Milic (NBA Phoenix Suns, Spain, Italy), Primoz Brezec (NBA Indiana Pacers), Bostjan Nachbar (Italy, NBA Houston Rockets), Boris Gorenc (France, Italy), Marko Tusek (Italy), Jaka Lakovic (Greece), Matjaz Smodis (Italy), Sani Becirovic (Italy), Beno Udrih (Israel), Erazem Lorbek (Michigan State University), Aleksander Vujacic (Italy).

BASKETBALL ORGANIZATION IN SLOVENIA

In Slovenia, basketball is divided into mass basketball and quality basketball. Mass basketball is handled in our schools, while the clubs and the National Basketball Federation take care of the quality basketball. The schools, clubs, and the National Basketball Federation are all strongly connected to one another.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

In the elementary schools, boys and girls practice basketball during their physical education courses and those schoolboys and schoolgirls who like basketball can play as part of their extracurricular basketball activities as well. School teams compete in basketball games held between schools. These games have been organized by the Basketball Federation of Slovenia since 1966. Basketball is now the most popular ball game among children and youth in Slovenia and in the school year 2001/2002, 62.5 percent of Slovenian elementary schools participated in basketball competitions. Club coaches help the teachers in the extracurricular basketball activities for children and assist in coaching the school teams.

HIGH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

Basketball is played during physical education classes and also as part of extracurricular sports activities.

BASKETBALL CLUBS

Men’s and women’s basketball clubs represent quality basketball in Slovenia. The basic goal each Slovenian basketball club is the successful development of quality basketball in their region. This goal can be achieved only with the close co-operation between clubs and schools.

Slovenian basketball clubs that go on to participate in international competitions have the responsibility of maintaining quality basketball in Slovenia and helping develop the most talented players in the country.

THE SLOVENIAN BASKETBALL FEDERATION

The Basketball Federation of Slovenia takes care of 10 National Teams (Boys and Girls, Cadets and Cadettes, Junior Men and Women, Young Men and Women, Men and Women) and sponsors them in all  international competitions.

The Basketball Federation has developed, in co-operation with club’s coaches, a selection process for the youth teams, which begins with 13- and 14-year-old basketball players. There are currently eight Regional Selection Centers for boys and four Regional Centers for girls. Coaches conduct into basketball, organize practice sessions and competitions, and help with the club selection process, regional team selections, and selection to the National Federation’s basketball camps. A summer basketball camp has been organized and sponsored by the Basketball Federation of Slovenia since 1997 and it has been instrumental in the development of our young players.

PROGRAM FOR TALENTED BASKETBALL PLAYERS IN SLOVENIA

The Slovenian model of introducing children to basketball, organizing practice sessions, and selecting talented players has come from several models. We have looked at the experiences of those basketball clubs that have achieved very good results and also at the work of the National Teams within the Basketball Federation of Slovenia. In addition, we have referred to various physiological and psychological studies of young athletes to determine what works best. Here is an overview of our current sixstage basketball model.
