(TORONTO, Ont. 13 août 2014) - Canada Basketball aura le plaisir de participer au Camp 2014 se l'équipe NBA Americas présenté par NIKE a Toronto du 17 au 20 août.

<< Nous somme excités de présenter le Camp d'Équipe Amériques présenté par NIKE ici cet été >>, selon Michele O'Keefe, directrice générale de Canada Basketball. << Il s'agit d'une belle occasion de démontrer à nos amis des autres pays de la Zone des Amériques de la FIBA ce à quoi ressemble le Canada tout en mettant en évidence quelques-uns de nos meilleurs jeunes talents, nos entraîneurs et nos talents de la NBA. >>

Un total de 60 athlètes provenant de six pays (Argentine, Brésil, Canada, Mexique. Porto et République Dominicaine) participeront à d'intensifs exercices d'habiletés en basketball et des compétitions. Sous la direction d'athlètes et d'entraîneurs de la NBA

Le camp comprendra des présences de joueurs canadiens de la NBA ainsi que Jay Triano, entraîneur-chef de l'équipe nationale masculine senior et entraîneur adjoint des Trail Blazers de Portland.

Roy Rana, entraîneur-chef de l'équipe nationale masculine junior et des Rams de l'Université Ryerson (SIC)) dirigeront les Canadiens au cours de l'événement de quatre jours qui aura lieu au Centre sportif Mattamy. Une liste complète des athlètes canadiens est affichée ci-dessous.

<< Il s'agit d'une occasion fantastique pour nos jeunes athlètes d'apprendre des habiletés de grande valeur de la part des meilleurs entraîneurs >>, dit Roy Rana. << Cela leur offre aussi l'expérience de jouer et apprendre aux côtés de leurs compétiteurs internationaux sur le sol canadien. >>

D'autres participants aux camps comprendront les adjoints de la NBA Kenny Atkinson des Hawks d'Atlanta, Chris French, des Rockets de Houston, Brett Gunning du Magic d'Orlando, Eric Hughes des Bucks de Milwaukee ainsi que le citoyen canadien et natif du Swaziland Jamal Maladeta des Raptors de Toronto.

Canada Basketball profitera de la fin de semaine pour accueillir un stage d'entraîneurs en partenariat avec la NBA.

<< La formation continue des entraîneurs demeure un point clef pour Canada Basketball >>, ajoute Michele O'Keefe. << Cet événement est une occasion parfaite d'inviter les entraîneurs canadiens de constater à quoi ressemble le basketball international à cet âge, tout en obtenant des conseils d'entraîneurs de la NBA. >>
