England U18 Preliminary Squad Named

By Sam Neter on November 9, 2013

The England Under-18 preliminary squad for the 1996 born generation has been named, as they will look to build upon the team’s ninth place finish in their first ever Division A campaign this summer.

Under recently named new Head Coach, Karl Brown, the ’96s, will be led by the likes of guards Jules Dang Akodo (pictured, above) and Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye, both members of this past summer’s squad.

The team faces no small task; last time the ’96 borns followed the ‘golden generation’ 95s’ Division A promotion, it resulted in relegation straight back to Division B.

Karl Brown’s side will have a joint camp with the under-16 men at Oaklands College, Hertfordshire, on the weekend of the 23rd November, to begin the initial phase of their preparation for next summer.

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.
