Womens basketball has returned to Indonesia after a four-year hiatus with a three-series event scheduled for three big cities in the nation. Five teams comprise the new league, named the Jawa Pos For Her Womens National Basketball League (WNBL) Indonesia 2012. The Surabaya Fever led the league after the first series ended in Surabaya, East Java, on March 18, racking up 261 points in eight games. The hometown team was followed by the Sriitex Dragons from Surakarta, Central Java, with 205 points and the Tomang Sakti Mighty Bees from Jakarta with 186 points. The league will shift to Jakarta for the second series from April 4 to 8 before traveling to Yogyakarta for a third series from April 25 to 26. The final match of the 2012 season is slated for April 28 in Yogyakarta. It is about time to bring it back, WNBL commissioner Azrul Ananda said on the sidelines of a press conference in Jakarta on Tuesday. I am aware that to sustain a sport event requires a commercial orientation, other than development. For now, we have to set aside the commercial orientation part and focus on the development of the sport, Azrul, who also heads the mens National Basketball League (NBL), added. Indonesia first established a womens basketball league in 1999 with eight teams. The league, the Womens Main Basketball Competition (Kobanita) had a fluctuating number of teams throughout its existence due to continuing financial problems. Kobanita began with 12 teams, although that number declined to six by 2008 before the Indonesian Basketball Association (Perbasi) halted the league. Azrul also the director of PT DBL Indonesia, which runs the Development Basketball League student basketball competition said that many parties, including Perbasi, had asked him to bring back a womens league after his company took over the NBL. The WNBL is run under the NBL, which is itself in its third year under PT DBL Indonesia. Sritex Dragon coach Wempi Wiyanto said that the WNBL gave new hope for grooming women athletes. We have a lot of clubs here, but what were lacking is a national-scale competition, which is strongly needed to shape-up our athletes mentality. In the Southeast Asian Games in November, for example, the national womens squad made its first appearance since 2003, finishing last behind Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Myanmar. Wempi said that his players were perhaps more emotional then male basketballers and required a different coaching style. However, their fighting spirit, even when they are sick, is a positive that will allow Indonesia to have a great womens team some day. The WNBLs Jakarta series will be held at the Basketball Hall of the Bung Karno Sports Complex in Senayan, Jakarta, while the Yogyakarta series and final will be held in the GOR UNY Yogyakarta sports hall.
