“These are exciting times for youth basketball in Great Britain and I can’t wait to work with the game’s rising stars again this summer.

“On a personal level it’s great to be involved and it can only enhance Northumbria’s reputation as a basketball university.”

British Basketball Chief Executive, Lisa Wainwright, said: “We are delighted to name such strong coaching and management teams to all of the GB National Youth Squads.
