2020 will see the revamped Flames Ignite Program fall under the SBL banner. The program will aim to create a stronger link between Rockingham female WABL athletes and the senior SBL program. Athletes will be provided with an exclusive pathway and dedicated training in an effort to create an easier transition for Rockingham’s elite women athletes into semi-professional basketball.

An open trial will be conducted at the end of 2019. There are limited spots available for athletes from the U14-U16’s age groups. Spots are limited in order to cater to high individualized training.

Athletes accepted into the ignite program will be granted access to SBL preseason with the ability to train or watch (At the discretion of the SBL coaching staff). In 2020 Ignite athletes will receive a dedicated group session fortnightly during the SBL/WABL season. The program will include individual interviews/goal setting, video sessions and feedback, small group training and an exclusive opportunity to attend Monday night SBL practices.

The sessions will place a high emphasis on individual skill work, looking to improve the multiskilled ability of all athletes. Small sided games and concept training will prepare athletes for success in school, state and rep team settings.

Ignite sessions will be conducted by WSBL head coach Keegan Crawford with assistance from other WSBL and Division 1 staff members and a rotating roster of WSBL senior players.
