Cebu City, Philippines —  Cebuano Rod Robert Robins. Jr. of the PAREF Springdale School joined six other boys and six girls at the top of the Regional Selection Camp of Jr. NBA Philippines 2019  that was held over the weekend at the St. Louis of Don Bosco in Dumaguete City. 

The 13 young basketball players will next represent the Visayas at the National Training Camp in Metro Manila on May 17 to 19, 2019.  

The selected athletes earned the right to represent the region after excelling in a combination of basketball activities and competition and demonstrated the core values of the game throughout the camp. 

The Visayan contingent of Jr. NBA campers will join outstanding players from the Regional Selection Camps in Benguet, Butuan, Lucena, and Metro Manila, and a select group from the Alaska Power Camp at the National Training Camp and vie to be named as Jr. NBA Philippines All-Star.

Dumaguete hosted the league’s youth basketball participation program for the first time, providing campers with world-class basketball instruction from Jr. NBA coaches led by Jr. NBA Coach Rob Newson and former PBA players Tony Dela Cruz and Willie Miller.  

New this year, Jr. NBA Philippines All-Stars—comprised of as many as five boys and five girls—will join the first Jr. NBA Global Championship Asia Pacific Selection Camp, a week-long camp in June that includes top youth players from the Asia-Pacific region excluding China. /bmjo
