THE Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA returns to Cebu to continue its search for the country’s most talented basketball players aged 10-14 in the regional selection camp, which kicks off tomorrow at the Don Bosco Technology Center in Labangon.
This is the third regional camp that the NBA has staged this year coming on the heels of their Davao stop last month. The two-day camp will be run by Jr. NBA Coach Craig Brown together with other Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA coaches from presenting partner Alaska.
Boys and girls born from 2002 to 2006 are encouraged to take advantage of the NBA’s international youth development program, where they can learn proper basketball skills and the Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA S.T.A.R values of Sportsmanship, Teamwork, a positive Attitude and Respect.
Registration and participation are free.
Participants will be made to go through vital skills challenges that will determine if they will make the cut for the second day which promises more tests, drills and exercises. On the second day, the remaining participants will undergo team drills and get to show off their team and individual skills in the final scrimmages.
The top performers in the camp will be selected to represent Visayas in the National Training Camp that will be held in Manila on April 22 to 24. The fourth and last Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Regional Selection Camp will be held in Manila on April 9 and 10.
