@CoachAWallace7 Well done coach and girls...great start, and what a 3rd quarter!

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@MubeenChanel Excellent players, teams, coaching, parents' support
and programme-go Knights!

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@Coxyworld @KatieCox14_ Go get 'um one and all...do good Miss Cox!

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@Hoopsfix ...and let's add the GB Olympic Committee into this discussion-the Olympics are an added major goal for young athletes, another milestone to aim for as they grow and mature into top quality athletes, but the great team sport was dropped from support as it can only win one medal!?

@KnightsBball09 @MichaelBelle14 @SamNeter @Hoopsfix More great basketball between two b-ball committed countries!

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@KnightsBball09 Good luck gents, and what about the ladies' team?

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@CoachIsaacRKBC @bballengland @Sport_England That goes without saying, coach, but with the overall lack of support starting at the England Olympic Committee eliminating funding a few years back because as one committee member said, "basketball can only win one medal," it's a long road to that access!?!?

@DeaneWilliams3 @ridley_shema Off to the USA, well done, more good stuff coming on your story...

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@CoachAWallace7 I've seen it all now...

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@CoachIsaacRKBC Absolutely, and it's finally good to have this kind of direction for everyone at the grassroots level!

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@CoachAWallace7 Basket to the basket...

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@CoachAWallace7 Congrats to the teams, the coaches and the growing programme…

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@KnightsBball09 @MubeenChanel Well done, go get 'um!

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@paulsammonPE @CoachIsaacRKBC ...and to sit a couple dozen GCSEs that are part of an outmoded system that spends a year plus prepping for them, rehearsing with mocks for them and then taking them instead of spending more time teaching students to think, reason, debate, etc. (and opening up the space)!

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@CoachAWallace7 @bballengland Agree 100%, the difference in ability in the National League girls’ divisions this year led to forfeits, teams dropping out and lopsided scores, most of which were not the coaches fault!

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@CoachIsaacRKBC During our several years in the programme, it has always seemed to be about 'averaging' things out-equal playing time for everyone initially selected instead of separating the best from the rest and developing exceptional talent early on...

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@Ballislife Absolutely, at least twice…

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@CoachIsaacRKBC Great to see someone I've watched develop for years succeed at this level now! Great training and hard work wins out!

[Phil Sheldon @PhilviaLondon]

@CoachIsaacRKBC @KnightsBball09 @bballengland @NBLengland @BallinDog @miriamkatush @Peace08097657 @JAMerchant @CoachAlainF @MubeenChanel Ah, that will happen, but you're already developing champions at every practice and at every game-as players and as people...
