Great Britain Under-18 3×3 Squad Selected for Europe Cup Qualifiers

British Basketball has announced the 3×3 men’s squad for the FIBA Under-18 Europe Cup qualifiers that are taking place this weekend in Hungary.

Derby’s Adria Amabilino-Perez, Robin Bedford from Barking Abbey, Kent Crusaders’ Jonathan Brown and basketballpaisley’s Callan Low have all been selected following a series of camps at the University of Worcester.

Worcester’s Director of Basketball, Dale Ryan, will head up the team who are seeded eleventh, and in a pool with Hungary and Switzerland, with both their opening games on Saturday August 5.

British Basketball Chief Executive, Lisa Wainwright, commented:

“We are delighted to be able to give our U18 players another opportunity to represent Great Britain on the European stage. It is an exciting time for the 3×3 discipline, with the International Olympic Committee recently confirming 3×3 Basketball as an Olympic sport for Tokyo 2020 and, hopefully, for future Olympiads. Playing for the GB U18 3×3 teams this summer could be the first step along a path that may end in Olympic participation for these players.”

Keep up to date with the squad on the official FIBA 3×3 event website.

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.
