Zlatan Presic head coach of the Belarusian Women's National U-18 team: "First of all, I would like to note that I was really pleased with girls’ desire to work during this camp. Each girl certainly wants to show her best and earn a place on the final roster for the FIBA U-18 Women’s European Championship. We plan to organize another training camp in April before the start of the preparation for the FIBA U-18 Women’s European Championship, which is scheduled for 1st June. There we will try to choose those fifteen players, who we will start to practice more precisely for the main tournament of the summer. We also take into account the fact that at least three basketball players of U-18 team are injured and can't take part in the training process yet. Of course, we have a lot of work to do in order to play well and at least save place in the elite division of the FIBA U-18 Women’s European Championship. I would like to note that I specifically asked the BBF to organize the presence of seven young coaches at the camp, who coached or are currently coaching these girls in different teams, so it will help us to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of the players. I also believe that this kind of experience is a great opportunity for coaches to obtain new knowledge and improve communication with each other."

Let us remind you that the Belarusian Women's National U-18 team is preparing for the FIBA U-18 Women’s European Championship in the elite division. This tournament is scheduled to be held from 24 July to 1 August 2021 in the city of Heraklion (Greece).
