Rounding off the end of the NL season, Dan held the floor on Sunday evening with a special moment presenting Coach Andy Sellick from the U18s with a 'Player's Coach' award and Oli honouring Head Coach and U18 Lead Coach Steve Claringbould with a 'Most Valuable Coach' award, thanking him for all he has done and wishing him well, as this was Steve's last season coaching a NL team for Abingdon Eagles.

The club took time to give thanks to all the internal table officials and referees that were present and involved in the NL this season, all who are a great inspiration to our young players and their families.
Club officials:

• Referees & Table Officials - Dan & Matt
• Table Officials - Henry, Ned, Ben, Jack, Hayley, Keith & Linda
• Liz (who organises the crews for all of our games).

Eagles will be sure to again celebrate our external officials at 'The Whole Club Celebration' later in the Summer, along with the announcement of our annual 'Baker Caudle Award' Winner for their commitment to the club, community and sport.

The coaching team, players and their families said "Farewell and see you soon" to our U18 players Dan going off to Bournemouth University and Oli off to flight school, who both became a part of the 'Forever An Eagle' program.

We also celebrated the junior NL players who have amazing opportunities to move forward with their basketball journey outside of Abingdon Eagles next season and go on to basketball academies both near and far, we'll look forward to watching your basketball journeys continue and publishing your alumni posts soon 'Forever an Eagles':

• U16 players - Berry and Harry Oakland Wolves & Sheja Charnwood Academy
• U18 players - Sam BWC Playmaker Academy, Tonko Charnwood Academy & Rami

The club also said a special "Farewell and see you soon" to Coach Martin & Tyler from our U14 NL team and their family, who in the coming weeks are moving away to continue their life's adventures in Scotland. 

All will be missed and we very much hope to stay in touch with you all, both in person and the convenience of social media. Don't forget to tag us as in your basketball journey posts, we love to see the story continue and see how far our Eagles stretch.

Keep a lookout for more news and updates on the Eagles summer 'Whole Club Celebration' to include all CVL, YBL and development teams and their families once the seasons have come to a close.

"Let's go Eagles!"
