NBBF puts D’Tigress training camp on hold

Basketball
The Nigeria Basketball Federation has put on hold the planned Aug. 12 training camp for the national women’s team, D’Tigress, in Abuja.
In a statement signed by its media officer, Patrick Omorodion, the NBBF said that the suspended training was in preparation for the Afro Basket Women’s Championship scheduled for Mozambique.
The federation had planned to invite 15 home-based players to the camp, who would later be joined by their foreign-based counterparts.
“The federation has resolved to modify the training camp and tournament dates for the invited players to enable them to work around their school and club programmes.
“This was achieved after much consultation with coaches and academic advisers of the national team players, especially in the U.S., who were invited to the Abuja camp.
“The modified schedules are likely to see the international players reporting to camp in September,” the statement said.
