We are delighted to present the selected squads and coaches for the 2022/23 U14 National Academy programme, which has been designed to identify and nurture our most talented young basketball players.
These squads will undertake an intensive training programme in the lead-up to the highly anticipated Tri-Nations tournament against England and Wales, set to be held in Dundee, Scotland, at the end of May.
The National Academy aims to provide a platform for our finest players in each age group to progress beyond the Regional Academy programme and showcase their skills against the very best talent from across the Tri-Nations.
