Initial England U15 Development Squad Named

By Sam Neter on November 8, 2012

Head coach Jesse Sazant has named his initial squad of 32 players for the England U15 Boys National Development Program this season.

Following the U15 and U13 Regional Development Tournaments the players have been selected and invited to a camp in Leeds on November 24 and 25.

“I have been really pleased with the standard of players and body types at both the U15 and U13 Regional Development Tournaments,” Sazant commented. ” I am looking forward to getting this group of players together to start their development as potential international players. We will also be inviting a larger group of 1999 born players identified through the U13 RDT and RPCs later in the season.”

Head of Performance Warwick Cann added: “This year’s group has good potential, but a lot of hard work in front of them to develop their skills to an international Division A standard.”

The squad is as follows:

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.
