MAKING IT TO THE JR. NBA ALL-STAR
67 of Malaysia’s most promising basketball
talents dribbled their way through to the Jr. NBA Malaysia National Training
Camp and is now one step closer towards being named 2017 Jr. NBA Malaysia
All-Star.
The Selection Camp ended with the selection of 33 boys and 34 girls aged
10-14 who will advance to the National Selection camp in Kuala Lumpur from July
28 – 30.
Talents
went through advanced basketball drills, skill stations and scrimmages led by
Chris Sumner, Jr. NBA Head Coach alongside other esteemed coaches to test and
develop their basketball skills.
These
potential basketball stars will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to train
beside an attending current or former NBA player at the National Training
Camp.
The Jr. NBA
Malaysia programme presented by Dutch Lady is free and open to boys and
girls aged 5 to 14. This programme not only
trains young aspiring athletes in the fundamentals of basketball, but also
demonstrates the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, having a positive attitude
and respect that is crucial for them to succeed in the sport. Dutch Lady supports the Jr. NBA program in Malaysia in
line with its Drink. Move. Be Strong platform to encourage active lifestyle and
healthy diet among Malaysian children.
The Jr. NBA Malaysia programme will culminate with eight boys and eight
girls being named 2017 Jr. NBA Malaysia All-Star and embark on a unique,
overseas NBA experience together with fellow Jr. NBA All-Stars from Southeast
Asia later in the year.
