PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC — The Israel men’s national indoor team will hold an eight-day camp, their final major training event ahead of September’s World Championships, in conjunction with the 2019 European Box Invitational and the Aleš Hřebeský Memorial at LCC Radotín near Prague, Czech Republic.
Israel and 11 other countries will be utilizing the Invitational (dubbed “E-BOX”), which is held from April 19-22, as training camps. The event features each team in one full 60-minute (4×15) stoppage time, FIL regulation match per day, to best replicate the experience in participating in a grueling World or European Championship.
The Invitational is being held as a prelude to the 26th Annual Aleš Hřebeský Memorial Tournament, in which Israel will be represented by Tel Aviv LC for the sixth consecutive year from April 24-27. The Israelis won the tournament for the first time in 2018.
