Basketball England’s Technical & Performance Manager, Vladan Dragosavac commented
“Congratulations to all players who have been selected to represent England in the Under 15 & Under 16 programmes this year, and potentially Great Britain in the 2017 European Championships. They have put a lot of time and effort into their own development and I’d also like to thank the player’s clubs, coaches and parents who ensure that each player has had the perfect environment to develop. I hope that the players will take this opportunity with both hands and give it their all over the next programme year.
Alongside the excellent work that clubs and their coaches are doing, the Regional Performance Centre programme has been effective in enhancing the player’s skills & knowledge of the game over the past 4 years and has been successful in developing players to a very high standard. We hope that the players that will be still involved in the RPC programme continue to give 100% and bring the skills learnt from the RPC into their respective national team programme.
For the players who have come to the end of their time in the RPC programme, use the skills learnt in the RPC programme as a base to progress their basketball career into the years to come”
