BASKETBALL IS STILL ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING SPORTS IN THE UK DESPITE A COMPLETE FUNDING CUT BY UKSport IN 2014. WITHIN THAT HAS BEEN A MARCH TO PROMINENCE OF THE FEMALE GAME BEHIND THE INTRODUCTION OF THE FIRST WOMEN'S PROFESSIONAL
LEAGUE IN THE WBBL. THIS WAS A MAJOR BOOST FOR THE GAME, CHARACTERISED BY A LARGE NUMBER OF PLAYERS FROM RECENT GREAT BRITAIN SENIOR SQUADS PLYING THEIR TRADE IN THE LEAGUE. RIGHT BEHIND THEM IS A STRONG GENERATION OF JUNIOR PLAYERS PUSHING FOR THEIR PLACE
AT THE TOP TABLE, WITH A GOOD NUMBER GETTING VALUABLE MINUTES AMONGST THE PROS. MISSING FOR THESE YOUNGSTERS, HOWEVER, HAS BEEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME TOGETHER WITH THE FINEST OF THEIR PEERS, LEAD BY THE TOP COACHES IN THE COUNTRY, IN AN ELITE PERFORMANCE ENVIRONMENT THAT PROVIDES EXPOSURE,
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, AND APEX COMPETITON FREE FROM THE PRESSURE OF RESULT AS THEY SEEK TO MAKE THEIR MARK ON THE NATIONAL SCENE. THE GOAL OF #WhosThatGirl IS TO BRING TOGETHER THE BEST OF THE BEST YOUNG
FEMALE BRITISH PLAYERS WHERE THEY CAN BE EXPOSED TO NEW PRACTICES AND IDEAS, ALLOW THEM TO EXPRESS THEIR PERSONALITIES, AND INTRODUCE THEMSELVES TO THE WIDER BRITISH BASKETBALL PUBLIC. JUST AS IMPORTANT WILL BE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS THAT WILL ONLY ADD TO THE COMPETITIVENESS IN SEASON.
ANOTHER UNDERRATED ASPECT OF THE GROWTH OF THE FEMALE GAME IN THE UK HAS BEEN THE RISE OF THE NUMBER OF YOUNG, PROGRESSIVE COACHES THAT ARE BRINGING A NEW & ENERGETIC DYNAMIC TO THE TABLE. THE CAMP
AIMS TO RECOGNISE THESE COACHES AND ENCOURAGE THEIR GROWTH AND PROVIDE A GREATER PLATFORM FOR THEM TO DISSEMINATE THEIR IDEAS AND HELP THE GAME TO GROW. AS THE GAME GROWS IN THE UK, IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO LINK THE PRESENT TO THE FUTURE FOR THE SAKE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND INSPIRING EVEN MORE YOUNG WOMEN
INTO THE GAME, AND HELP MAKE THE UK A POWEREHOUSE OF WOMEN'S BASKETBALL, AND THIS IS A KEY AIM FOR US AT #WhosThatGirl.
