53 players selected to Basketball Ireland U17 programme
A total of 53 players have been selected to participate in the Basketball Ireland U17 Academy programme for the upcoming season.
The Basketball Ireland U17 Academy Programme serves as a bridge for boys and girls between U16 and U18 level, allowing them the chance to develop physically, while continuing to receive high level coaching and experience a high-performance environment. It also keeps them engaged with the Basketball Ireland Player Pathway, with several players in recent years going on to represent Ireland at the FIBA U18 European Championships after a successful year in the system.
Ciaran Kiveney is in his second year as head coach for the U17 men's squad, while Andrius Gerve is announcing his first squad as head coach of the U17 women's programme.
You can see the full list of players selected at the bottom of the page.
Training dates for those selected and all the information about the Basketball Ireland Academy programme can be found here.
