Leicester Riders are heading to Sweden next week for a four-day visit as they continue to build ahead of the upcoming BBL season.

Swedish top division side Norrköping Dolphins will host the visit whilst providing tough opposition for the Riders, who are also taking the women’s side for training camp.

So far, Leicester have beaten USA Select and Loughborough in pre-season outings and will be hoping for a beneficial trip to Sweden.

“We are really looking forward to the trip,” said Riders Head Coach Rob Paternostro. “It gives us a chance to play against good competition and should hopefully set us up well for the BBL season.

“I know the team is looking forward to playing Norrköping, and gaining more game experience from playing against teams with different playing styles.”

Check out their schedule here:

Friday 18th September
5pm – Leicester Riders vs Norrköping Dolphins

Sunday 20th September
2pm – Leicester Riders Men vs Norrköping Dolphins

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.
