“The development of youth basketball is the goal of both the SYBA and CTBIN. When told that, for over five (5) years, many attempts to work with our neighbors to the north never came to fruition, I made it one of SYBA’s goals to ensure that we made it happen. Today, we’re happy to say that we’ve been able to do just that and look forward to the public’s support to make this event an official part of our yearly calendar of events.”, said SYBA president Marvio Cooks.
The SYBA and CTBIN look forward to continuing this collaborative event for many years to come as we work together to develop youth basketball on both sides of the island.
