-

The Cebu Youth Basketball League marks a milestone as its ties up with the MVP Sports Foundation for the staging of the MVPSF Youth Basketball League-Cebu (MYBL-Cebu), the CYBL’s main tournament for the second semester of the school-year 2019-2020. The tournament will kick off on October 27, at the Magis Eagles Arena of the Sacred Heart School-Atene de Cebu in Canduman, Mandaue City.

“We are excited to partner with CYBL as it is aligned with MVPSF's thrust to strengthen grassroots development and have a program that provides an avenue for young talents to further hone their skills,” MVPSF Marketing Head Maita David said.

The tournament will involve four age groups: Under 10, 12, 15, and 18, with games played every weekend from October to March 2020. An initial list of 89 teams have signed up for the tournament. Among them include schools, ballclubs and LGU-based squads. The age groups will have two categories or divisions. Division 1 is for the competitive teams while Division 2 is for the developmental clubs. Venues of games will include the Sacred Heart School Mango Avenue campus gym and other host venues such as the Talisay Sports Complex, SMS-Boystown, Aznar Coliseum, USPF and USC South.

“Cebu has proven that it can produce top-caliber athletes and we at Gilas are very proud of June Mar Fajardo, Roger Pogoy and Councilor Dondon Hontiveros,” Gilas Pilipinas Asst. Manager Yvette Ruiz added after being reunited with former Gilas team captain Hontiveros at a courtesy call with Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella.

The MVSPF, behind its President Al Panlilio, Executive Director Ryan Gregorio and Atty. Oscar Moreno, sent a team to Cebu to formalize the partnership. Here with David and Ruiz were Rommel Garovillas of the MVPSF and Janel Ng of Smart. The MVPSF seeks to support grassroots and age group sports with the dream of producing that elusive Olympic gold. It currently supports sports such as weightlifting, boxing, taekwondo, football, futsal, rugby, badminton, cycling and golf.

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.

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...
