Club observes youth of Training with a view to integration in the Men's Teams

Between July 7th and 19th, the CAB will organize observation trainings for young Formation athletes with a view to preparing the teams that will compete for the 2014/2015 edition of the Men's League and CNB1. In this sense, the Friends of the Basketball will focus their attention on a group of selected young people from their training schools with the aim of evaluating their qualities, then deciding on their possible framework in the team of the Men's League and their satellite team, namely the Club Hours of Funchal, which militates in the division of CNB1. With this initiative, the CAB intends to adopt a process of gradual integration of young Madeiran athletes into the senior teams of the club. This intention will be met by implementing rules, systems and concepts aimed at applying the fundamentals of the game as it is played at the highest levels of competition in the country. They may be admitted to the training process athletes by indication of the coaches involved or at the request of the athlete himself, which, in this case, will require the consent of the coaches. In statements to the CAB's Official Site, Francisco Gomes, chairman of the Board of Directors of the SAD dos Amigos, said, "It makes no sense to approach the national market and the foreign brand without first looking into our own home and making an objective assessment of the potential of Madeiran athletes of our Training to integrate the projects of the League and the Satellite Team. What these trainings want is exactly this, putting the Formation athlete at the center of our priorities in the constitution of the male plants for the 2014/2015 season." "In addition, the analysis we now make of the observed athletes will allow us to draw conclusions on the meaning to give to the Training in order to ensure the greater integration of Madeirans into the League team and the Satellite Team. Even if not all the athletes observed are, in the end, integrated into the teams that have regular national participations, they will leave training with clearer ideas than it is to work at senior level and with the certainty that if they have worked, they will have the opportunity to wear the senior CAB sweater", concludes the club leader of Nazareth.
