Caelin Peters, Mykal Glasglow, Rye Ahronson, Yontz Sutton and Jorel Smith along with coach Charles Peters departed Bermuda heading to Trinidad and Tobago for an NBA and Digicel Elite Basketball Camp.
Chosen by the Bermuda Basketball Youth Federation (BBYF) and NBA Coaches Chris Ebersole and Adrian Alvarez, the young athletes were not only judged on their athletic abilities but also their attitude, dedication and ability to interact with their fellow players.
Charles Peters, BBYF President and Director, stated “The BBYF were glad to support Digicel and the NBA with the JumpStart Clinics and look forward to being a part of this annual event.
Spending time with the coaches from the NBA was a valuable resource for our local coaches and players. The five who were selected played very well during the two day event, and there were several others who could have easily been selected. One of the things that separates our players from players all over the world is our children’s character. This is testament not only to the parents on the island but also the local coaching community who commit themselves in their programmes and donate their time day in and day out. The BBYF would also like to make sure that we do not forget to give a special thanks to Cedarbridge Academy for hosting the coaches’ clinic, and especially Coach Rickey Watts who made that possible.”
