Newly-appointed staff for England U14 and U15 boys and girls teams will make their final selections for the squads that will be involved in a round of tournaments and training camps in April and May.
Seventy hopefuls, who have progressed through this season’s rounds of Aspire Camps, will be assessed by coaches before the England squads are named for events in Menorca, Serbia and Scotland during April and May.
The three-day selection camp will take place at the National Basketball Performance Centre in Manchester.
Coaches and staff have been appointed with Sterling Muschett U14 Boys head coach, Steven Lindsey leading the U14 girls, Billy Beddow in charge of the U15 boys and Maialen Zilbeti the U15 girls head coach.
“Congratulations to the players who have the opportunity to show what they can do in camp and the coaches and staff appointed to lead them. It has been a productive season so far for the Aspire programme and I’m looking forward to seeing the players working hard to seize their chance to represent England.”

All players attending the selection camp will be offered cardiac screening alongside the normal testing conducted.
Andy Howse, BE Head of Physiotherapy and Sports Science, said: "The first people the ETP players will meet on first morning is likely to be the Sports Science and Medicine Team. For 2022 BE is trying to complete all the screening on one day and for the first time in a number of years, the players are being will be offered discounted cardiac screening which we’re encouraging players they take up.
“In light of the Christian Eriksen incident in last summer’s Euros, BE have been able to secure the services of cardiologist Dr Richard Lawrence to conduct cardiac screening at a significantly discounted rate. BE would also like to thank Orca Medical for the loan of an ultrasound machine to conduct ECHO assessments, if required. This testing will help us reduce the risk of a sudden cardiac death in our athletes.
“The players will also complete Performance Profiling with the Strength & Conditioning (S&C) team alongside researchers from the University of Lincoln.
“The results of this profiling will help enhance our understanding of our younger athletes and inform areas to work on in the future.”
