A total of 28 players were selected for the program, although the exact number of involved number will vary during the season as the individual needs of players change and new talents arise.
They will be in two groups-a development group for the youngest members of the cohort, the nine-to-11 year olds and the most important group for older, more experienced players who are able to train about longer camping per dates.
The group will meet for around 40-50 days of camp activity per year, but can be more if players are selected for international events.
The first training camp was held last month, led by headhoop coach Charlotte Carey, and supported by Ben Barlow, Olly Tyndall and various spar partners at a high level.
In addition, England hopes as a feeder for players to be selected for European hope camps – there are currently three camps in Europe every year, where players get the chance to be selected for the Europeans training program. The Dimitar Dimitrov of England is currently in the Eurotalent program.
