South Luzon to showcase eight young ballers at the Jr. NBA Philippines 2019 presented by Alaska National Training Camp
Nearly 1,000 young basketball players participated in
the first
Regional Selection Camp of Jr. NBA Philippines 2019 presented by Alaska at the
Manuel Enverga University
Foundation in Lucena City on March 9-10.
Staged for the second time
in Lucena, the league’s global youth basketball participation program will
send four boys and four girls to the National Training Camp at Don Bosco
Technical Institute Makati on May 17-19.
They will be members of the 40-boy and 40-girl-participant pool that
will fill the roster through the four remaining Regional Selection Camps and a select group from the Alaska Power Camp.
The athletes demonstrated
a proficiency in fundamental skills and embodied the core values of the game
through the two-day camp and are set to compete among talented athletes
nationwide for the Jr. NBA All-Star selection.
Jr. NBA Philippines All-Stars—comprised of as many as five boys and five
girls—will advance to the first Jr. NBA Global Championship Asia Pacific
Qualifiers, a week-long selection camp in June that includes top youth players
from Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
In addition, the Asia
Pacific regional competition will provide the 2019 batch of Jr. NBA All-Stars
with the opportunity to represent the region in the Jr. NBA World Championships
that will be held Aug. 6-11 at ESPN Wide World
of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida. The international event will feature talented youth from
the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East,
China, Mexico, Africa, India and the Asia-Pacific.
