National Teams Descend Upon Bristol for Combined Camp

Friday sees the fourth annual National Teams Camp in Bristol, as both male and female junior national teams head to the South West for a combined camp of clinics, practices and games.

The camp provides valuable training and competition opportunities for the Standard Life GB U20 teams as well as enabling both U18 and U16 squads from England and Scotland to experience the intensive program as part of their preparation for their respective European Championship later this summer.

“The National Team Camps highlight the demands and expectations of being an elite player and enables coaches to gain knowledge and experience as part of their own preparation for this summer’s challenges,” British Basketball Performance Pathway Manager, Vladan Dragosavac, commented.

The Great Britain U20 Men and the England U16 Men and Women squads will all be in attendance, as well as the Scotland U18 and U16 Men squads alongside Belgium’s U20 Men and Sweden’s U16 Men and Women, who will face off with their British and English counterparts in two game series’.
