The FIMBA GB +60 and +65 Women’s Teams came together for a joint training weekend in Leicester on 18th and 19th October, and what a fantastic couple of days it was!
A total of 17 players took part, with two guest coaches — Steve Murray and Bob Mitchell — leading the sessions. Both delivered fun, focused and productive practices, helping everyone sharpen their skills while enjoying plenty of good basketball and team spirit.
We were also joined by a prospective new coach, who attended both days to get a feel for the teams and the programme. If he decides to join us for the season ahead, we’ll be sure to share more details soon.
Although a few players were unable to make it due to injuries or other commitments, the turnout and energy across the weekend were really encouraging. The depth of talent on display suggests we’ll be in great shape to put together one or possibly two strong teams for Athens.
A big thank you to Steve, Bob, and all the players who made the weekend such a success — here’s to building on that momentum as we prepare for the challenges (and fun!) ahead.
