TORONTO, ON (June 7, 2016) - Canada Basketball’s women’s high performance program is pleased to announce the 17 athletes who have been invited to Development team training camp.
“We’re looking forward to a summer of training and gaining important international game experience,” said Fabian McKenzie, head coach. “Continuing to develop the next wave of talent in Canada is integral to our continued success on the world stage.”
McKenzie (Cape Breton University), will be joined by assistants Michele Belanger (University of Toronto), Jeff Speedy (University of New Brunswick) and Performance Analyst Sunny Ahluwalia.
The team will participate in a 9-day training camp from June 7th -16th at the University of Toronto – Mississauga. The final 12-woman squad will head to Prague for a 5-game exhibition tournament from June 20th – 25th.
