“It's always a honour to be involved with the national team programme,” Kapoulas told bristolflyers.co.uk.
“We have a big summer ahead of us with the European Championships and our goal this year is to achieve promotion back into Division A.”
British Basketball Chief Executive, Lisa Wainwright commented; “We are delighted to name such a strong coaching and management team to all o f the GB National Youth Squads.”
“Using the experience and talent within the home countries, we’ve been able to appoint high quality coaches and excellent personnel to all squads.
