The Dominica Olympic Committee (DOC) has opened registration for the AABL × DABA Basketball Camp, a development initiative aimed at young players between the ages of 13 and 20. The camp is designed to give aspiring basketballers structured coaching and a clear pathway to improve their game.
The programme is a joint effort between the Dominica Amateur Basketball League (AABL) and the Dominica Amateur Basketball Association (DABA), with the DOC overseeing registration. It targets school-age and young adult players who want to develop their skills under organised coaching.
According to the DOC, the camp will provide participants with an opportunity to train in a structured environment. The initiative is part of a wider effort to strengthen basketball at the grassroots level and to identify and nurture talent across the island.
Young players aged 13 to 20 are eligible to register. The camp is expected to draw participants from communities across Dominica, giving them access to coaching and development that may not be available at the club level alone.
The AABL and DABA have been working to raise the standard of basketball in Dominica, and the camp is seen as a key part of that effort. By focusing on younger players, the organisers hope to build a stronger base for the sport and to prepare athletes for higher levels of competition.
Registration is now open, and interested players are encouraged to sign up. The DOC has not yet released the full schedule or venue details, but further information is expected as the camp approaches.
Basketball remains a popular sport among young people in Dominica, and development camps such as this one offer a rare chance for players to receive concentrated coaching. The involvement of the Dominica Olympic Committee adds weight to the initiative, linking it to national sporting development goals.
Parents and guardians of eligible players are advised to take note of the age range and to register their children promptly. The camp is open to both boys and girls within the specified age group, though organisers have not yet confirmed whether separate sessions will be held.
The AABL × DABA Basketball Camp is the latest in a series of efforts to promote youth sport in Dominica. Similar initiatives in other disciplines have been supported by the DOC as part of its mandate to develop athletes and increase participation in Olympic sports.
For young players hoping to take their game further, the camp represents a practical step. It offers coaching, structured training and the chance to be seen by local basketball officials. Those interested should contact the Dominica Olympic Committee or the AABL and DABA for registration details.
