ACADEMY TIMETABLE
All the boys have a very hectic timetable and must show great personal discipline in order to combine a heavy academic load with an intensive and demanding basketball schedule. To give a flavour of this, Lee Goldsbrough's basketball schedule is shown below:
| Monday | Individual Coaching | 7:00am - 8:15am |
| Team/Individual Loreto Coaching | 4:00pm - 6:00pm | |
| Game for Loreto at ABC | Evening | |
| Tuesday | Under 18 Magic Team Practice | 6:30pm - 8:20pm |
| Div 3 Magic Team Practice | 8:30pm - 10:00pm | |
| Wednesday | Individual Coaching | 7:00am - 8:15am |
| Under 18 Magic Team Practice | 6:30pm - 8:30pm | |
| Thursday | Team/Individual Loreto Coaching | 12noon - 2:00pm |
| Under 18 Magic Team Practice | 6:30pm - 8:20pm | |
| Div 3 Magic Team Practice | 8:30pm - 10:00pm | |
| Friday | Day off to recuperate | |
| Saturday/Sunday | On most weekends, Lee will play a Junior Magic Under 18 and a Div 3 game. If only one game is scheduled, extra practice will be substituted, often individual work. | |
In addition, the players have free passes to the gym at ABC and their strength and conditionaing work is scheduled around their basketball and academic schedules.
The whole package is extremely intense and designed to prepare players for a full-time basketball career, whilst, at the same time, giving priority to academic qualifications which they may need for their future careers.
