Sixty-nine young basketball prospects arrived at the CeNARD training facility in Buenos Aires for a new evaluation program designed by the Confederación Argentina de Básquet, lavoz.com.ar reported.
The program aims to bridge regional development camps and formal youth national team selections through rigorous physical and scientific testing. It gives top prospects from across the country a shared platform to measure their skills against elite peers.
“Es una etapa donde queremos ver entre 30 y 40 jugadores y jugadoras que fuimos detectando en los Campus Regionales,” Cristian Santander, coordinador de Selecciones Formativas, told lavoz.com.ar.
CeNARD Evaluation Schedule
The women’s concentration takes place from November 16 to November 19, according to lavoz.com.ar.
Following the women’s sessions, the men’s camp runs from November 30 to December 3, lavoz.com.ar reported. Thirty female athletes and 39 male athletes make up the final roster.
Athletes undergo comprehensive physical and scientific screenings during morning sessions. These assessments include anthropometry, neuroscience, optometry, and gait analysis.
Afternoons feature competitive try-out matches. Participants also attend workshops covering sports psychology, nutrition, anti-doping protocols, English, officiating, and video analysis.
“Queremos medir a los mejores entre sí,” Santander told lavoz.com.ar, noting that the initiative creates a dedicated tracking environment for taller prospects.

Nine players from clubs in Córdoba secured selection across both tournament brackets. The women’s list features Virginia Bressan from Hindú, Ahitana Clemente from Instituto, Indiana Francois Costello from Hindú, and María del Pilar Manara Feresin from Centro Cultural Alberdi de Río Cuarto.
The men’s selections include Pedro Amadei and Juan Cruz Panero from Instituto, Jeremías Cabral from Bell Ville, Bautista Kloster from San Martín de Marcos Juárez, and Jano Lamberti from El Tala, lavoz.com.ar reported.
