CYBL Launches Under 10 3X3 Games

-
The Cebu Youth Basketball League adds a twist to its games as it launches the CYBL Under 10 3X3 Fiesta series of games today, October 5, at the Sacred Heart School Mango Avenue campus gym. With 18 teams signed up for today’s Leg 1, the league hopes to make the game both more fun for the youngest age group of basketball and also give them the chance to hone their skills.

“The 3X3 approach is intended to provide Under 10 age group players the chance to harness their skills in a more appropriate venue vis-à-vis having them play the full court five-on-five game,” technical supervisor Rey Cañete said. He added that in the full-court game, Under 10 players don’t touch the ball too often and therefore can’t develop their basketball skills such as ball-handling, dribbling, shooting and passing. “Mas mo dagan pa sila kaysa gunit ug bola,” he added. Another highlight of these games is that all teams will get to play in at least three 3X3 games. Moreover, game officials will do more coaching and guiding than actual officiating to help the young players develop their skills. While the teams will play in a round robin series of games, no champions will be declared, in line with the main objective of having the players work on their basketball skills.

Leading the teams are five teams of players born 2009 or later are five teams from SHS-Ateneo de Cebu, four teams from USC South, two teams each from the City of Talisay, Carmen Christian School and St. Benedict Child Education Centre, and a team each from PAREF Springdale, Basak San Nicolas, and USPF. They have been divided into four groups that will play a round robin of 3X3 games per group. The series will be played through a series of legs of half-day games that will be played between the months of October until March 2019. More teams have signified their intention to join the next legs.

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 ...

Dominate Visayas?

Bleacher Talk November 9, 2008 Dominate Visayas? Cebu has always boasted that it’s the hotbed of basketball south of Manila. But if it’s a real dominance over the rest of our neighbors in Visayas and Mindanao, this will have to cover all levels of basketball. At the higher level of basketball, Cebu is virtually unstoppable. The M. Lhuillier ballclub has always been tops in the semi pro circuit, representing Cebu in the Liga Plipinas and their previous leagues such as the MVBA and URBL. At the collegiate level, the University of the Visayas has always been tagged as the top collegiate team in the Vismin and is even considered a threat to the top teams of the UAAP and NCAA. We’re not counting the PBA and PBL here since these are more national in scope. But I’d like to see M. Lhuillier take their action to this level (this makes another story). The Central Visayas has also been our domain in the Palarong Pambansa even if we suffered a glitch when Bohol defeated Cebu City in the high schoo...
