British Basketball Head of Performance Warwick Cann, said that the standard of the tournament has markedly improved on previous years:
“Clearly the U15 Boys Regional Development Tournament impressed all with the improved quality and standard of play produced.
“I believe there has been great progress with standards and quality for both players and coaches at this level.
“Over the weekend I had many comments offered to me by good judges of basketball commenting on the noticeable standard improvement in 12 months for this age group. The team offence and the offensive technical skills have improved greatly across all regions and I think the Area Performance Centres (APC) have been a major contributor to this. They have been well supported in most cases by the regional coaches with good preparation periods.”
Jack Burnell from the East won the ‘British Shooting Competition’ hitting 17 of 22 elbow jumpshots.

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.
