Boys and girls aged 10 to 14 are invited to participate in a learn-and-achieve camp that will test their physical and basketball smarts through NBA style skills tests and basketball drills. The two-day selection camp starts at 9 a.m. on March 11, with the final selection of Visayan finalists to be announced on March 12. This is the sixth time that the Jr. NBA is staging its Regional Selection Camp in Cebu.
On Day 1 participants will undergo vitals tests, skills tests and drills after which the top performers of the day will be selected based on their scores. On Day 2 participants will have more intense drills, team activities and scrimmages that will determine the level of their basketball skills.
Jr. NBA coaches led by Coach Chris Sumner and local Jr. NBA coaches led by PBA Legend Jeffrey Cariaso will run the camp alongside local volunteer coaches and make the final selection for the regional finalists. The selected players will represent the Visayas in the National Training Camp that will be held in Manila on May 12-14.
At the NTC, eight boys and eight girls will be chosen from among the finalists from the various regions and the Alaska Power Camp. They will be named this year’s Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA All-Stars and will enjoy a unique NBA experience later in the year that will also give them the opportunity to play with other Jr. NBA All-Stars from the Southeast Asian region.
