Andrei Kirilenko, the President of RBF:
– Our girls are at the meeting for three weeks. To stay in such conditions is difficult – there is no possibility to go somewhere, have a normal conversation with family and friends. I think we communicated very well in an informal setting. The coaches and players have accumulated a lot of questions. I am pleased to see that basketball is slowly coming back. At the end of last week was the final of the championship of Russia on version of the game 3×3. In the current challenging conditions, the athletes continue to work to prepare for the next season. We have a womens team now assembled by the young squad from 25 to 26 and under. These players are our present and future. And very important for them to spend together for a month. To the coaching staff put into their heads their basketball concept. Especially that Alexander Kovalev – enough new TRENR for this command. Plus, of course, during the club season, time to gather and work together – a little. Now the girls did not only team but also individually.
