Amelia’s England Representation Dreams

Hello

I’m a self funded young athlete that was selected on May 28th to represent England. I will be participating in the Home Nations tournament held at the National Basketball Performance Centre on 31st May and 1st June, Jr.NBA in Valencia on 2nd-6th July and another tournament in Montenegro on 5th-9th June. Alongside all of this I will hopefully be competing in Lloret De Mar with the Elite Sports Family on 17th-22nd July and participating in the National All-Star Tournament for Super Central Region on 25th-27th July. As you can imagine that does not give my family much time to organise the funds required for me to compete.

As a self funded athlete I have to pay for all my own expenses, some of these expenses are offset or subsidised by the national governing body - Basketball England. However, even thought these funds are subsidised they are still quite high.

Over the past month I have received three MVP awards, Northants Basketball Club U16, UK50 and National Dynamik Schools U14 finals game, as well as a prestigious award name after Angelina Browne. Last year I competed for Central Super Region in the National All-Star Tournament and was the three point shooting champion.

My goal is to one day compete at the highest level possible and make basketball my career, so that I can give back to young people like me when I’m older. Please can you help me on my journey to success and representing the country by making a small donation to help me?
