National team head coaches have identified a total of 40 boys who have the long term potential to represent the Great Britain men at senior level - 10 from the U16, 10 from the U18 and 20 from the U20 age groups - who will come together for the first camp which will be piloted on February 16 and 17 at Southend-on-Sea.

The camp will be delivered by the head coaches and assistant coaches of the various age group programs, plus the senior strength and conditioning consultant to British Basketball:

- GB U20 head coach, Tim Lewis- GB U20 assistant team manager, Mark Lloyd- U18 England head coach, Andre Alleyne - U18 England assistant, Tim Lascelles - U16 England head coach, Simon Fisher- U16 England assistant, Karl Brown -GB senior strength and conditioning coach, Duncan French

It is hoped that this event will provide the coaching staff with the opportunity to develop targeted skills which are essential to home nation and British performance improvements within Europe. These five key areas are:

1. Essential physical abilities

2. Passing skills

3. Shooting

4. Reading and reacting on offense

5. Defence

Finally, local support from Southend District Council, South East Essex College, Essex Audi and David Lloyd Leisure and Fitness have all been instrumental in bringing this initiative to life.
