iPRO Teams Up With 5or6 Elite Basketball Camp

iPRO has teamed up with 5or6 Elite, the elite basketball camp, as their Official Hydration Partner. 

The invite-only camp boasts nine full Great Britain Internationals, including captain Myles Hesson, Kavell Bigby-Williams, and guard Andrew Lawrence. This time, 5or6 Elite is heading to the capital.

“We’re thrilled to be back this year,” commented 5or6 Elite director Peter Simmons. “The camp is aimed at helping elite-level athletes get some valuable work in with like-minded players. It’s an opportunity for some of the younger end to learn what they can from the senior guys.

“That’s why we want talent from the NCAA, BBL, and players from the top European leagues. It’s a unique opportunity for the seniors to workout but also pass on their wisdom to others around them.”

Skills Coach Gary Maitland and Loughborough University Head Coach Mark Jarram, will head up the coaching staff, with lead therapist Tim Kayode (Myoset) and strength & conditioning lead George Crook (F45 Blackwall) completing the expertise.

“Gary, Mark, Tim, and George all have experience working with some of the very best athletes. It’s an awesome opportunity for the players to further their development and garner information from some of the best guys in the country.”

Speaking about the partnership with iPRO Hydrate, Peter Simmons said:

“We are delighted to be partnering with iPRO Hydrate. Their support in fuelling the athletes during the camp is really appreciated. iPRO has been investing in supporting basketball in this country, and we are so happy to have them support our event.”

“We are excited to be supporting the 5or6 Elite Basketball Camp this year and continue to play our role in the development of Basketball in the UK. The camp has an incredible line up of top players who will be undertaking a highly vigorous few days of activity, so will need premium hydration to help them remain top of their game and aid recovery.”
