Team NI Announce Long List for U15 Boys & U15 Girls!

Team NI is excited to announce Team NI U15 Boys and Girls extended squads today, Tuesday 5th December 2023.

“26 boys and 20 girls have been selected through the performance criteria set and examined over the course of Team NI Training Camp One in October 23 along with representative coaches and myself scouting at league games to see the athletes in their own environment. This was a worthwhile exercise for our coaches as this is something we will continue to develop as we progress this pathway.”

Performance Pathway Coordinator, Andy Gill 

The below squad lists will now go forward to attend Team NI’s second Performance Camp where they will work on developing their basketball skills as a unit, along with individual support services, such as Strength & Conditioning, Nutrition and Sports Psychology. 

“This is an exciting time for our sport as Basketball NI continue to role out great opportunities for our young athletes. The standard in the performance camps was extremely high thanks to our clubs, parents and the players themselves. We are looking forward to developing our players and coaches as we work towards a return series against Basketball Wales in 2024.”

BNI Vice Chair, Marc Mulholland

The below long list of players have been selected for Team NI Squads and selection will continue to be an ongoing process throughout the winter months. If you have any queries around Team NI please contact Performance Pathway Coordinator Andy Gill @ Andrew@basketballni.com
