Brendan Winters, Director of PSB China, and his brother, Ryan, a former Elon University basketball player and current PSB Charlotte coach will be headed over to China from October 1-9 for a few clinics and a 3 on 3 tournament. This will mark Brendan’s third trip over to China and Ryan’s first.

Coach Ryan played at Elon from 2011-15 and has been coaching with Pro Skills Charlotte since he graduated. He had this to say about the China trip: “I’m really excited to go to China for my first time. It sounds like an amazing country and, from what I’ve heard, they love basketball, so it should be a great experience for me. I hope I can make it an awesome experience for the kids we’re coaching as well!”

The duo will start their trip in Chengdu where PSB is operating full-time. On Oct. 2nd, Brendan and Ryan will lead a skills clinic for Chinese players who, the following day, will be taking part in a PSB 3 on 3 tournament. After the clinic and 3 on 3 tournament, the brothers will depart on the 4th to Wenzhou.
