+65s Men welcome their new coach

GB Over 65’s September and October Training Sessions

With new coach, Bob Mitchell, the +65s have held two weekend practices at Beauchamp College in Leicester.


The work rate, commitment and attitude of the squad has been exemplary. Due to various commitments we haven’t had the whole squad training together yet but this should be rectified at our next training weekend in November.

New players have joined the current squad, which will strengthen the players available for tournaments next year.

Players have found new energy levels to run our fast break and composure to execute our offence. Physicality on defence has been a real strength.

Special thanks to Desborough Basketball Club who provided players for us to scrimmage against on both Sundays. We hope to use them again in November.

Our next open practice is:
Saturday 22nd November, 1 – 4pm
Sunday 23rd November, 12 noon to 2pm

At Montsaye School, Rothwell, near Kettering.

A pleasure to work with such committed players.
