What is the Junior Development Programme?
The JDP (Junior Development Programme) gives your child the opportunity to compete against other associations from Zone 1 (Northland, Hibiscus Coast, North Harbour, Waitakere, Auckland, Counties Manakua and Franklin).
All teams are graded according to ability where they will compete in the Zone 1 Super
City Competition. Players may also be selected to represent Coast Basketball at the
Northern Regional Championships.
