The Bermuda Basketball Youth Federation (BBYF) held its 1st annual March Madness All-Star event as a fundraiser for its Youth National teams. Top basketball players from Primary Schools up to Senior High Schools competed in four various competitions to find out who was at the top of their game.
All of the funds raised for the event are going toward the Youth National teams who travel to represent Bermuda each year. This year the teams will be traveling for their fifth year in a row with the Girls 18 and Under team traveling next month, April 21st to April 26th to the Blue Chip Pre-Season Challenge powered by Under Armour. This is an NCAA Certified Event held at Spooky Nook Sports Complex in Manheim, PA. It is One of the largest exposure tournaments in the US with over 200 colleges coaches attending annually.
The All-Star Saturday event consisted of four competitions:
The Skills Challenge Players compete against time to dribble through a series of cones before making a pass and a shot.
