Davao Jr. NBA Top Ten to give Cebuanos, Manilans a tough time

Davao Jr. NBA Top Ten to give Cebuanos, Manilans a tough time
About 150 Davao kids joined the Jr. NBA Regional Selection Camp at the Ateneo de Davao campus on March 14. But in the end there could only be ten. The Jr. NBA Regional Selection Camp is the penultimate stage of the third consecutive Jr. NBA program presented by Hi-Smart Multivitamins.
Henry Asilum and Jefferson James Roxas of the Holy Child School of Davao, Miguel Competente of St. Paul College, Earl Nicole Hiso, Israel Dave Remolar and Carlo Lino Araguez of Stella Maris Academy of Davao, Miguel Paolo Gancio and Sean Patigue of the Ateneo de Davao, Al Rashid Indin of Daniel R Aguinaldo National High School and Troy Senen Macariñas of EMAR Davao City bested other worthy competition and will join the ten kids selected from the Cebu Regionals last March 7 in the Jr. NBA National Training Camp in Manila scheduled from April 16-18. Twenty more young basketball hopefuls will be chosen from Luzon and the National Capital Region on March 21.
PBA Legend and NBA-appointed Jr. NBA coach Ronnie Magsanoc said the ten were standouts from the very beginning. “The Davao kids were highly skilled, very disciplined and the best made it to the Top Ten,” he said. Magsanoc was joined by former PBA player and Jr. NBA Davao coach Cadel Mosqueda in running the Davao selection camp. Local coaches Eddie Salac and Ramon Pido assisted the two PBA legends in administering the drills, skills challenges and basketball clinics to the 12-14 year old participants.
“We want to show that Davao players are not behind their counterparts in Manila and Cebu. These boys will really give it their all in the Jr. NBA National Training Camp,” Mosqueda said proudly.
Respected local coach Eddie Salac added, “The Davao youngsters were attentive, disciplined, coachable and very talented. In the coming Jr. NBA National Training Camp, the Davao players will shine”.
The Jr. NBA participants’ standings in the camp were determined by their total scores in five skills stations: the Hi-Smart Layup Station, the Hi-Smart Dribbling Station, the Gatorade Shooting Station, the BTV Passing Station and the Mitsubishi Footwork Station. They were also given vitals checks, tests of speed, stamina, flexibility and vertical leaping ability. The Top 20 who registered the highest scores in the skills stations were the only camp participants who could join the scrimmage towards the end of the camp. The coaches chose the final Ten from their performance in the scrimmage.
The high point of the 2009-10 Jr. NBA Philippines Program presented by Hi Smart Multivitamins will be the National Training Camp in April which will be led by US NBA coach Frank Lopez and NBA Legend BJ Armstrong, three-point ace and three-time NBA champion. Forty National Training Camp finalists from Davao, Cebu and Manila will undergo intensive training for three days at the Jose Rizal University Gym in Mandaluyong City. They will compete for eight choice slots to be named the 2009-10 Jr. NBA Philippines All Star Team and they will be rewarded with an authentic NBA experience in October.
The Jr. NBA Philippines effort is presented by Hi-Smart Multivitamins with the support of Official Sports Drink Gatorade, Official Broadcast Partner Basketball TV, Official Automobile Partner Mitsubishi Motors, Official Mall Partner SM Supermalls, Official Supplier Spalding, and the Department of Education.

PBA Legends, collegiate coaches join Jr. NBA coaching staff
PBA Legends, collegiate coaches join Jr. NBA coaching staff
Jr. NBA-appointed coaches Ronnie Magsanoc, Ryan Gregorio, Elmer Cabahug and Al Solis are back for the third consecutive season of the Jr. NBA Philippines Program presented by Hi-Smart Multivitamins. And this time another ex-PBA cager Cadel Mosqueda joins the group to introduce the program to Davao City for the first time.
The NBA’s youth basketball development program, introduced into the country in early 2008 to 16 Metro Manila private and public schools initially, has expanded its reach from 200 schools and 20,000 participants in 2008-09 to 300 schools and approximately 30,000 students in 2009-10. This is the first time that the program will be staged in Davao. It brought the program to Cebu also for the first time last year.
Besides Magsanoc, Gregorio, Cabahug, Solis and Mosqueda, other topnotch local and collegiate coaches have signified their interest to join the coaching staff of this the 2009-2010 Jr. NBA Philippines Program. Some of these are Jamike Jarin, coach of the Ateneo Blue Eaglets; Britt Reroma, San Beda Red Cubs coach; Aboy Castro, varsity coach of the UP Fighting Maroons and Ron Camara, coach of the Ateneo Grade School, among others.
Local school coaches and Filipino boys ages 12 to 14 can register for the program for free through the Jr. NBA event website www.nba.com/jrnba/philippines
“Kids and their parents are inspired to join the program, because they know the NBA fully supports the development of youth basketball in our country. The kids have added motivation to excel because they know they will be rewarded with an unforgettable NBA experience if they could be the one of the best eight in the Jr. NBA National Training Camp,” says Jr. NBA-appointed coach, Ryan Gregorio, also head coach of the Purefoods TJ Giants in the PBA.
Gregorio added that, “The program is a great boost for youth basketball because the transfer of technology will really expose the kids to the global basketball experience. With the support of the Jr. NBA, we may yet be able to produce the first Filipino NBA player. The interest generated by the Jr. NBA program – a 100% free, A-class basketball program -- can also motivate our 12 to 14 year olds to get into basketball instead of getting hooked on vices that would destroy their dreams and aspirations.”
The 2009-10 Jr. NBA Philippines Program presented by Hi-Smart Multivitamins – the third consecutive Jr. NBA program in the Philippines – will go full blast in 2010, starting with the Coaches Clinics to be conducted in Manila, Cebu and Davao in January; School Tryouts in January and February and Regional Selection Camps in March.
