After an unforgettable World Championship run and a brief summer break, the England Lions foam squad has leapt back onto the training court, Energized and laser-focused on their next monumental challenge: their European Championships debut!

Behind the scenes, the coaching staff have been relentless in their pursuit of excellence. Building on the strengths and lessons from the World Champs, they’ve implemented a dynamic training program designed to push the Lions to their limits. Gruelling drills, intense fitness sessions, and of course, plenty of game-time have set a high standard, and the players are rising to the challenge.
