A big congratulations to 4 of our players who have been selected for the England Selection Camp at the National Basketball Performance Centre in Manchester.
Our players are:
- Joelle Sealy for the U14s Girls
- Myles Barry for the U14s Boys
- Amelia Orungbeja for the U15s Girls
- Andrew Nwokolo for the U15s Boys
From the camp, squads will be selected for a range of England Talent Programme tournaments and games across the spring and summer, with all players attending featuring in at least one squad.
Our head of Basketball and Basketball England Head of Talent and Performance Steve Bucknall said:
‘I’d like to congratulate the players who have been invited. We want them to come into camp with a positive attitude, ready to work hard with the coaches and show us what they are capable of. The focus of the ETP is to develop players at U14 and U15 level to be ready to progress onto potential GB selection at U16. We have a busy period ahead of us and the players who perform at the highest level in camp will feature the most, although everyone will get the opportunity to take part in at least one squad.’
