UV Wins CYBL Under 12 Title

-
The University of the Visayas strikes again! UV humbled SHS-Ateneo de Cebu, 73-16, to take the Under 12 division title of the CYBL Summer league yesterday at the SHS-Ateneo Mango Campus gym.

Leading from start to end, UV stunned everyone with a 14-0 run in just five minutes, using its full-court pressure to deny SHS-Ateneo of decent looks at the goal, and getting easy baskets off steals from their relentless pressure. The first period ended with UV enjoying a 26-3 lead. The second period wasn’t any different as they maintained a 23-point lead at 32-9. The lead ballooned to 54-15 after three periods with “game over” written all over the court. It was a display of dominance for UV with Jan Mark Toring leading UV with 19 points as Jacob Cortes added 12, including three triples. Louie Bual added ten. Benj Chua led SHS-Ateneo with six points. UV is coming off an Under 12 championship at the CYBL 2018-2019 3rd Conference, also over SHS-Ateneo.

They face SHS-Ateneo de Cebu for the championship after the Magis Eagles defeated Southwestern University-PHINMA, 54-44, in the other semifinal game. In other games, One on One-A nipped Punta Princesa, 43-40, in the Under 12 Friendly Finale, as Tayud defeated AMICIS, 50-35, in the Under 15 Friendly Finale.

UV is on track to score four age group championships in this pre-season. They’re also in the running for the championships of the high school and college divisions of the ongoing CESAFI Partner’s Cup 2019.

Milo BEST: All Basics The Basketball Efficiency Scientific Training (BEST) Center has been around for 31 years, and it has been at the forefront of doing the most basic of basketball teaching: sticking to the basics. This is the primary content of the Milo-sponsored BEST Center basketball clinics that have become an institution in Philippine basketball. “We teach the fundamentals, lahat ng klaseng fundamentals ng basketball — that’s our philosophy, dahil sabi nila, basketball is just a series of fundamentals,” said Nic, who was inspired to bring the concept of basketball clinics to the Philippines 31 years ago when budding players at that time had no formal training in the sport. The BEST Center program is divided into four levels. Level 1 focuses on dribbling and ballhandling fundamentals. Level 2 is focused on the basics of shooting. Level 3 is on Individual Defense while Level 4 is on Individual Offense. Every student who enrolls in the BEST Center starts with Level 1 and moves up ...

Other Side of Summer Sports

Bleacher Talk April 5, 2009 Other Side of Summer Sports We all know how the summer is always filled with sports clinics all over the place. The primary goal of parents in sending their kids to sports clinics is to find something productive for them to do over the summer break. Sports thus becomes a break form the tough ten-month school-year that children go through every year. We wrote about this two weeks back and encouraged parents to make sure that their children’s summer is filled with sports activities. But there’s another side to summer sports activities, especially for those who are already very much into sports. A typical summer for a student-athlete is to continue training in his sport. For some, they call it off-season training. For others, it’s the time to prepare for the upcoming schoolyear. So instead of taking a break from what they do during the schoolyear, they’re actually doing exactly the same thing that they’ve been doing for ten months. Isn’t this “boring?” Don’t yo...
