England U18s Open Training Camp in Sheffield

By Sam Neter on December 25, 2015

We headed to Sheffield at the end of November for the first training camp for the England Under-18s ahead of the 2015-16 campaign – the last England U18 team that will be represented before the home nations combine to play as GB from the end of 2016.

We spoke to new Head Coach Steve Bucknall, as well as players Carl Wheatle, Luke Mitchell and Kaiyem Cleary on how camp has been and their expectations in preparation for the 2016 FIBA Europe Division B European Championship.

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.
