Ten Jr. NBA and five Jr. WNBA All-Stars will be selected at the National Training Camp and will embark on a unique, overseas NBA experience together with fellow Jr. NBA All-Stars from Southeast Asia. The Coach of the Year will also be announced at the National Training Camp that will be attended by NBA talents.


The Journey 

Last Sunday, March 1, 2015 at the University of Perpetual Help Systems in Biñan, I was able to witness the journey of these young aspirants of the Junior NBA and Junior WNBA. These kids have undergone different intense drills and basketball team exercises to evaluate their capabilities and determination to achieve their goal.


The participants were selected from the Top 40 performers of the first day of camp held at the Alonte Sports Arena in Biñan Laguna which drew a field of 481 players aged 10-14 years old from various cities and towns in South Luzon.


The Top 40 were asked to return on Day 2 for final evaluation and selection of the top players who also exemplified the Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA core values of Sportsmanship, Teamwork, a positive Attitude and Respect.


Behind The Scene 


This careful selection process was headed by Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA head coach Chris Sumner and PBA Legend Jeffrey Cariaso of the Alaska Power Camp.


We found many basketball talents here with good skills, athleticism and great fundamentals. I was impressed with their desire. My advice to them is to practice, practice, practice, and to always be hungry. Not everyone has the chance to be here. They should make the most of it and live the STAR values” said Coach Chris Sumner.
