The deadline for the submission of application forms for the 2007 Elite Basketball Camp tryouts in Western Visayas is Jan. 8 in Bacolod City. Coach Rommel Rasmo, who is assisting the International Basketball Academy facilitate the tryouts, yesterday said that the coaches should submit the applications to Dexter Dy at the Bacolod Visayan Lumber. The tryouts for high school players from Region VI, which is backed by Nike and IBA, is set from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on January 21 at the St. John's Institute Activity Center Project director Alex Compton earlier said there will be no limitations in the number of WV aspiring cagers who will be included in the camp, but only 80 slots are up for grabs nationwide. Compton said that they are staging the tryouts because they want to maximize the individual skills of the best young players in the country. The camp is scheduled from March 30 to April 4 next year at Brent International School in Mamplasan, Laguna with former Philippine Basketball Association mentor Eric Altamirano and 10-year National Basketball Association veteran David Wood among others being part of the coaching staff. Compton said that players from public schools will also be allowed to join the tryouts as long as they are enrolled this school year because they want to instill that education is important. Elite will shoulder the expenses, including the fare, accommodation, food, jerseys, shorts and shoes, of the cagers who will be chosen for the six-day camp that is open to players below 18 years old, he said. The mythical five after the camp, which has calendared skill-building workshops, scrimmages, truth talk sessions and an all-star game, will be sponsored by Nike to participate in the All Asia Camp in China, Compton added. Interested coaches who want to inquire about the tryouts may contact Rasmo at mobile number 09182518366 or Dy at mobile no. 09173004248. *CIT |
