Work for senior national teams that are not the United States, is put in every summer. This week marks the start of the CBC Championships for Women in the British Virgin Islands that will send three Caribbean teams to the 2016 Centrobasket for Women tournament that will determine some of the qualifiers for the 2017 FIBA Americas Championship for Women that fills out part of the field of the 2018 World Championship for Women.
I have tried my best to find the US based roots of any players on the eight teams, but current club teams are a challenge and this is one of the harder international tournaments to find player details for ahead of time.
