TORONTO (June 23, 2026) — Canada Basketball has announced the U17 Women’s National Team training camp roster as the team begins final preparations for the upcoming FIBA U17 Women’s World Cup 2026.

Following April’s Selection Camp fuelled by Gatorade, which featured the country’s top athletes, the program enters its next stage as athletes continue competing for a place on the final roster ahead of this summer’s competition.

“This is a talented, driven group with its sights firmly set on the podium”,  said Steve Baur, General Manager and Vice President of Women’s High Performance at Canada Basketball. “We’re building on the foundation established last summer, and with Jessica (Roque) setting the tone, the energy and competitive edge within this team are unmistakable.”

The team will train at Humber College in Toronto from June 23 to July 1 before travelling to Brno, Czechia for the World Cup tournament taking place July 11 to 19.

Jessica Roque has been named head coach, marking her first appointment as a head coach within Canada Basketball’s women’s high-performance program. Robyn Fleckenstein and Hali Burns will serve as assistant coaches, both of whom also return from last year's U16 Women's AmeriCup coaching staff.

“Having veteran leaders to anchor the group is invaluable”, Baur continued. “They understand what it takes to win at this level and are helping establish a culture of excellence from day one.”.

The final 12-athlete roster for the FIBA U17 Women’s World Cup 2026 will be announced prior to the start of competition in Brno.
