After the provisional England Talent calendar was released in July, the bulk of the dates, venues and staff for this season's Aspire Regional Skills Camps are now confirmed below.
The Aspire Programme will again feature initial Skills Camps, before selected players move on to Super-Region Camps from January to June.
As in previous years, all squad lists for future activity are subject to change as the programme progresses, and players from skills camps can still be selected for future super region activity, for example. Likewise, super region players can be transferred back to skills camps, if required.
The programme will culminate with the Aspire All-Star National Tournament in July.
This article will be updated with the outstanding information as soon as possible.
Club coaches can nominate players for inclusion in The Aspire Programme using the form below.

Basketball England’s Aspire programme continues to underpin the work done across the sport’s Talent Pathway.
Aimed at talented 11-15-year-olds, Aspire graduates have been excelling this summer after moving through the programme as part of their continuing development.
Eighty-five of the 86 players on the current England Talent Programme (ETP) came through the programme, with some going on to represent Great Britain this summer.
Of the 48 roster spots across the GB U16 and U18 Men’s and Women’s squads for the recent European Championships, 37 of those players (77%) came through the Basketball England Aspire Programme from 2019 onwards.
