Continuing their development as part of the England Talent Pathway (ETP), both the girls and boys teams flew to Belgrade this week.
The girls enjoyed plenty of success from their four-game stretch last weekend, winning three of the ties against local sides Vizura, Partizan Belgrade and Art Basket.
The boys enjoyed a big win over Cerak on day one, before two narrow defeats to Red Star and Partizan on the final day.
The four-day tours served as another excellent opportunity for players to continue their development at the international level, with a view to progressing along the ETP and towards a potential GB spot for future FIBA European Championships.
All teams took part in a local excursion in and around Belgrade to enhance their own off-court development and learning.

"These trips are an excellent opportunity for our young players to gain further European exposure, continue their development and increase their confidence and self-belief.
"We are pleased with the continuing growth of the players within this year's programmes and we expect the Serbian activity to be the most challenging set of games to date.
"As always, the staff supporting this year's programme have been exceptional, making use of every learning opportunity to continue their own development as well."
