It’s been 11 months in the making (apologies) but I’m proud to finally present the final 1 hour long Barking Abbey at the City of Palms Classic 2013 documentary; ‘A Road Less Travelled’.
I don’t want to go on too much as I detailed much of the trip on our return in the post 10 Days Stateside with Barking Abbey for The City of Palms Classic, but this is the visual accompaniment to that piece.
It documents the trip from beginning to end, while sitting down with players and coaches after they got back to tell their story and memories of the experience.
For nearly all of the team, which as the GB Regional Institute were pretty much all national team level players, it was their first time facing off against US teams, with US rules, as well as experiencing American basketball culture so it proved to be an incredibly interesting 10 days.
Take a seat and watch it in full below – and please let me know what you think in the comments, would love to hear your feedback!
If you liked it, or found it interesting in any way, it would be hugely appreciated if it you shared it on Facebook/Twitter/with your friends to help it spread as wide and far as possible!
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.
