Islington Panthers are just back from the 14th Annual International Easter Tournament at Eurocamp in Italy. They sent one of their teams to face off against some European competition between Saturday 7 to Tuesday 10 April 2012.
With teams from countries all over Europe such as Germany, Belgium and Czech Republic, this was a great opportunity for the Panthers to test themselves against different basketball styles in a different environment with 92 teams competing last year.
Coach Will commented: "It's an opportunity for Panthers players to compete against teams around Europe. It's also great for the club to be able to build links up with other teams and give our young players a chance to be seen."

Whilst there is plenty of the season left to come, the club is already making plans for its players to improve during the off-season.
All Panthers senior players will enrol with Dowe Dynamics Gym in Archway, where they will be appointed a gym instructor for 90 days.
Training programs will be given out to players for the duration with work outs focusing on strength training, fitness, core work and muscle building. All of this should help make them come back for the 2012-2013 season stronger than ever.
