U15’s ready for School Games National Final

The next generation of Panthers is ready to take centre stage.

This Friday, Birmingham Panthers' U15 squad will represent the club at the School Games National Final 2026, taking their place on a national stage.

The squad selected for the competition is:

Ava Bennett
Aaliyah Garland
Aaleyah Robinson
Bella Adam
Bella Frankum-Recci
Ella-Rae Russell
Lauren Parker (C)
Lily Field (VC)
Molly Fishlock (VC)
Nancy Brown
Rosie Myles
Zara Clement

Reserves: Cora Batchelor, Goda Perminaite and Jess Wooddisse.

The School Games National Final represents another important opportunity for the Panthers' pathway players to test themselves against some of the best young talent in the country.

Developing the next generation sits at the heart of the Panthers' ambition. Our pathway spans U15 through to U23, with the aim of giving talented young players the opportunity to develop and progress within a high-performance environment.

But pathways are about more than producing future elite athletes. They are about creating opportunities, building confidence and giving girls the chance to see themselves represented in the sport they love.

That is a big part of what Birmingham Panthers is building: role models close to home and a pathway that helps the next generation believe in what is possible.

With the squad now selected, attention turns to Friday.

We wish the whole squad the very best as they take to the court and represent Birmingham Panthers at the School Games National Final.

Let’s go, Panthers! 🐾
