The England Under-16 boys squad to face Basketball Scotland and Basketball Wales in the new Tri-Nations Tournament at the National Basketball Performance Centre in Manchester on December 21 and 22 has been revealed.

The event will provide an opportunity for Under-16 and Under-18 male and female players from across Britain to come together to showcase their talents. It will consist of select teams from Scotland, England and Wales.

Basketball England’s Performance and Technical Manager Steve Bucknall said: “As we build on the momentum of last year’s Great Britain European championship campaigns, this tournament allows us to assess players earlier ahead of potential selection to Great Britain age group teams in 2020.

“For England, we will use this tournament to look at a wider pool of players outside of those who we are monitoring on a weekly basis during their National League seasons.

“We also see our partnership with Scotland and Wales strengthening and providing all our home nation’s players with the opportunity to compete, receive exposure and be assessed for international standards.”

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.
