Basketball Australia has selected the best junior talent from across Australia for a camp at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) ahead of the FIBA U17 Oceania Cup to be held from December 6th - 14th.

The final teams will be selected immediately after the camp.

Both teams are dominated by recent U16 Asia Cup Crocs (men) and Sapphires (women) gold medalists.

The women's squad is highlighted by gold medalists Sophie Richardson, Madison Ryan, and Olivia Olechnowicz as well as recent NCAA college-commit Taryn Bond.

On the men's squad, rising star Luke Paul is featured alongside Jai Fa'ale, Will Hamilton, and Harry Cook.

The FIBA U17 Oceania tournament is transitional for the U17 age classification. Subsequent tournaments for this age group will progress to the 18 - 19 Gems & Emus age bracket and related tournaments.
