England U16 Squad for Sweden Series Selected

U16 Women head coach Lee Davie has announced a 16 strong squad for the three game series against Sweden at Oaklands College.

“Sweden have been a consistent force in Division A over the last 7 years, and will be a good test for our team,” said Davie.

“For us to achieve our goal of gaining promotion to Division A, it is going to require us to play to an A division standard and be better than 15 other teams over the European Championships.”

“It’s going to be a great opportunity for us to see what that looks like, and use this experience as a measuring stick for where we are right now and where we want to be by the European Championships in July.”

The full squad is –

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
