England Under-16s Reduced to 19

Nineteen players have been named in the updated England Under-16 men’s squad following on from their December camp in Manchester.

Those selected are put forward for further consideration to make the Great Britain U16 squad which will be announced following the next camps in April.

England and GB U16 Head Coach James Vear commented:

“It was a positive first camp and was good for myself and the staff to get a large group of players together over the Christmas period.

“It was very evident that there is some talent at this age group. It will be interesting to see how they develop over the coming months and into the summer.”

The December camps took place on 21 and 22 December for all Men’s squads, and the updated squad list is as follows:

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.
