Message: [QUOTE="MSGRET, post: 4490672, member: 8506"] Nan thanks for the video, I remember when I was in Germany and the Netherlands from 90 to 96 that women's club basketball was in it's infancy. Very few cities had clubs, most of it was regional and in major cities. When my wife and I went back in 2009 it was completely different, there was club basketball in her hometown which had a population of less than 20,000. Most schools do not have sports teams, they are mostly ran by larger sports teams. In soccer the local team is a farm team to a major city team, which is most likely a feeder to one of the Bundesleaguer team's like Dortmund or Munich, it's the same for basketball. Many of the players who are school age go to regular school until they get a certain age, then they go to a sports school if they are good enough to play. They still have their studies, but instead of going to a trade school, they go to a sports school. [/QUOTE]
