The Australian Gems have made their way to Czechia to compete in the Under 19 (U19) World Cup. They are currently ranked fifth in the world by FIBA and have been placed in what many are calling the group of death with France, Brazil and Mali.
They’re led by head coach Renae Garlepp who many credit as a great developmental coach. She spoke on the importance of the U19 team, telling The Next: “Representing Australia at a U19 World Cup is something they’ll never forget. It’s the start of their professional journey — the chance to experience international basketball before stepping into college or pro environments.”
