The last Regional Selection Camp 2019 was held at Don Bosco Technical Institute Makati last April 27 to 28. All chosen finalists boys and girls are all set to face more challenges, trainings and hard work in the coming months at the National Training Camp on May 17-19, 2019. It’s high time to prepare and be ready to compete to their chosen battle, basketball.
The regional free tryouts welcome young athletes from 10 to 14
years old, open to all boys and girls. This year Jr. NBA Philippines in
partnership with Alaska hosted the two-day event facilitated by Rob Newson of
the NBA and PBA legend Jeffrey Cariaso. The two lead coaches along with the
other members of the committee were given the qualifiers their all-out support.
Young participants on the other hand, showed their eagerness and energy through
series of drills, exhibition games and challenges that were lined-up during the
two-day camp. They were led to demonstrate proficiency
in fundamental skills and embodied the core values of the game through the
two-day camp and were set to compete among talented athletes nationwide. Audience especially the parents were all excited the thought of
having the opportunity bestowed to the participants into becoming a future
athlete of their own generation.
In addition, Jr. NBA Phlippine All-Stars comprised of as many as 5
boys and 5 girls—will advance to the first Jr. NBA Global Championship Asia
Pacific Selection Camp in June, a week-long selection camp with top youth
players from North Asia, Southeast Asia and Pacific regions. Asia Pacific
regional competition will identify 10 boys and 10 girls who will represent the
region in the Jr. NBA Global Championship held August 6 to 11 at the ESPN Wide
World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida. The international
event will headline young players from the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe,
Middle East, China, Mexico, Africa, India and the Asia-Pacific.
Alaska is one with the Jr NBA Philippines to push the advocacy to
the youth to participate and engage in such sports like basketball. Alaska also
aims not just by drinking milk but also to encourage especially younger kids to
lead a healthy and active lifestyle even at a very early stage of their lives. This
is their way to be part in nation-building through youth sports development
programs. To help nourish children develop their strength, the values of discipline,
hard work and teamwork through their chosen field of sports.
Let's all have high hopes to our Pinoy youth. As parents and guardians of the next generation we should guide our children to have a better tomorrow.
