GB Maxibasketball recruitment drive for 45+ women's team

The Great Britain 45+ women's team is looking to recruit additional players ahead of the FIMBA Ticino 2025 World Championship.

After a spate of injuries, Head Coach Riccardo Raggi, who also coaches at Folkstone Saints Basketball Club, is putting out a call for players aged 45 and over to join his squad, who will be competing for medals at the Maxibasketball world champs in Ticino, Switzerland from the 27 June to 6 July 2025.

Interested players will be asked to join the squad's next training weekend on the 15 and 16 March at the Nottingham Wildcats Arena.

The FIMBA World Maxibasketball Championship is held every two years, with GB Maxibasketball having previously fielded British teams in the championships in Finland (2019) and Argentina (2023). 

This year’s global event already has 400 male and female teams registered to compete from across all five continents in age groups rising from 30+ to 75+ age categories. 

It promises to be one of the largest masters basketball events in the history of the international masters federation.

Eligibility

• Players must be aged 45 or over (born 1980 or earlier)
• And hold a British passport or lived in the UK for 12 months or longer
