SPAIN, FRANCE ON WARM-UP LIST FOR GB WOMEN

By on March 18, 2015

Great Britain women will take on reigning champions Spain as part of their build-up to EuroBasket 2015.

With their competitive campaign tipping off in Szombathley against Russia on June 11, it has been confirmed that Peter Buckle’s squad will take part in warm-up tournaments in Lyon, against France, Slovakia and Serbia (14-16 May) and Bilbao, against the Spanish, plus Canada and Poland (28-30 May).

Buckle is set to name an initial 20-strong squad in the next few weeks with 12 to survive the cuts and go to Hungary, with their training camp to be held at Worcester for the second successive year, starting on May 2.

“We are well in advance with our organisation for this year and once again, we look forward to using the University of Worcester Arena as our home base before EuroBasket Women,” said National Teams Director, Warwick Cann.

“We have planned well for what we most need, while I am delighted that we have a schedule which includes some of the world’s best teams in terms of preparation games. Our team staff are in also now in place and working hard behind the scenes to get good results.”

It means disappointment for the fans, however, with no senior GB side expected to play on home soil in the summer of 2015, with the men thought unlikely to even hold a home friendly.

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.
