 Francesco Nanni in celebration

Speaking ahead of the events, Ireland U18 men's head coach Paul Kelleher had this to say:

"This is a wonderful opportunity for both players and coaches. Players have a wonderful chance to get some takeaways that they can work on the rest of the summer from a high level coach that is Francesco Nanni with the Ireland U-18 Men's Team in attendance. and coaches will have the chance to see how this can be achieved while also receiving a significant amount of CPD points for their own development. On June 29th, we are having a youth development day with the camps & Coaches clinic of "Youth Player Development" in the evening. So any coach who wants to watch the player camps to get more ideas contact ireu18bball@gmail.com to book a place at no extra cost. This is going to be an exciting few days, and we are looking forward to seeing everyone there."
