The squad will commence training in early June 2010 and play test matches around the second or third week of July and during the first week of August, which may or may not be played on British soil.

British Basketball is looking for a home for training camp, test matches and EuroBasket matches, although not all of the matches are to be played in one location.
The campaign will succeed, in part, due to a successful partnership between British Basketball and a local council, venue and/or club.

Requirements:
• Accommodation: of good quality, with meal, laundry and meeting room provisions. For approximately 3½ months for 25 - 30 people.
• Court: 2 adjacent sprung wood basketball courts.
• Backboards: non-fixed boards made of clear Perspex, fully functioning score boards and shot clocks above boards, or if this is not possible floor mounted shot clocks
• Training: typical training day 10am-12 morning training, 3pm-5.30pm afternoon training. Access to court everyday for full training period at these times, plus group access (exclusive is ideal) to gym before training and ad-hoc individual access at all other times.
• Strength and conditioning facilities, including cardio and weights.
• Exclusive storage space on site for water, lucozade, balls and kit.

If the venue were to host EuroBasket matches, it must meet the following FIBA regulations:
• The court dimensions of 28 m x 15 m and at every point, at least 2 m from the advertising boards and all obstructions.
• The height of the ceiling or the lowest obstruction shall be at least 7 m above the playing court.
• All the specifications for level 2 competitions must be met (supplied upon request).
