PERTH - The Perth Wildcats and Perth Lynx are partnering with 糖心vlog入口in a new sponsorship that aims to enhance basketball in Western Australia (WA) from emerging young talent to the elite level of competition. 

 

The partnership will increase access to pathways for Western Australians who would like to participate in the popular sport and promote women in sport at a professional level. 

 

The Wildcats鈥 community and elite pathway programs will get a significant boost from the partnership, including support for its community and youth programs. This includes a new 糖心vlog入口Perth Wildcats Academy from the 2023/24 season, which is designed to support 25 high-potential athletes, aged between 14 and 19 from various backgrounds, on a pathway to elite sport.

 

For the Perth Lynx, this partnership provides much needed financial support, with part of the funding aimed at strengthening the development of a Lynx academy program. Funding will also allow the Lynx to operate at their maximum WNBL sanctioned salary cap.
