England Basketball have announced the 1997 born talent squad

After the 1997 born inter-regional tournament in Lilleshall last week (which London won), the 1997 born talent squad has been announced by England Basketball.

The squad was selected from players representing their regions at the Under 13 tournament with a view to early identification for next year’s England Under 15 development squad. The England U15 head coach and his team of national assistant coaches will run a day long camp for all members of the squad. The 27 member squad will attend either a north of England regional camp in Sheffield on Friday 29th October or a Southern camp on Monday 25th October in Bristol.
