Aspire Talent Camps back for another round of activity

The Aspire Programme is back for another round of talent camps.

Camps take place across the 10 Basketball England regions over the next two weeks, with the first starting today.

The objective of the programme is to introduce 2007-2011-born players to Basketball England’s talent environment, reinforcing BE’s Player Development Framework and the Aspire curriculum.

All Aspire participants will be involved in camp activity within their region between October and Easter (Stage 1), before selected players move on to one of four super-region camps at Easter and in May (Stage 2).

An Aspire All-Star Tournament will then take place in early Summer 2022 as the final stage of the programme for the 2021/22 season (Stage 3).

Warm-ups get under way in the East Midlands. The North West (main picture) also started today.
