The coaching staff will also include Georgia Amoore, Washington Mystics guard and member of the Australian national team, two-time WNBA champion Tamecka Dixon, as well as former Spanish national team player Anna Montañana, Meighan Simmons and Shanece Sims.
The young players will take part in a variety of activities, including athletic testing, movement efficiency sessions, skill development stations, 3-on-3 competitions and 5-on-5 games. Life-skills seminars will also be organized throughout the camp.

Another Step in the Development of Young Talent
Since its launch in 2001, Basketball Without Borders, the NBA and FIBA’s global basketball development and community outreach program, has welcomed more than 4,900 participants from 149 countries and territories.
More than 155 former participants have gone on to reach the NBA or WNBA. Among the former female participants who have since played in the WNBA are Kamilla Cardoso, Aaliyah Edwards, Awak Kuier, Ezi Magbegor, Dominique Malonga, Jade Melbourne, Iliana Rupert and Han Xu.
The Chicago camp is another opportunity for the NBA and FIBA to identify and support the next generation of women's basketball talent from around the world.
For Ivorian basketball, the participation of Lala Toure and Maimouna Traore provides both players with an opportunity to compete and learn alongside some of the world's most promising young talents while gaining valuable experience in a high-level international environment.
