The team have also been taking part in a three-day bootcamp at the gaming accommodation at British Esports’ National Esports Performance Campus in Sunderland, including team practice, media sessions, scrims and more.
Alex Davies, Performance Advisor for British Esports, has been on hand to deliver key coaching advice and support, in order to prepare the team’s mental state ahead of the regional qualifiers.
Chester King, CEO of British Esports Federation, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome the British team to our brand new performance facilities in Sunderland where they have been bootcamping ahead of the tournament. Our continued partnership with British Basketball once again exemplifies the synergy between esports and traditional sports.”
“We’re delighted to continue our support of basketball esports with some of the best players that Great Britain has to offer in the latest eFIBA Open.”
