Coach Ken Han of Shooting Stars Brunei said, “Kids are the future. it is very important to back to the fundamentals of basketball.
“Sports help build character, discipline, responsibility and independence.”
Coach Ryan added, “We are excited to be part of the upcoming camps. It is our vision to inspire the kids.
“We as local coaches are always looking to learn best practices and concepts from other coaches to give back to the children.
“Being an avid sports fan and having played basketball (for Brunei national team), I know how difficult it is for young players, especially Bruneians, to be given the right exposure and opportunity to learn from the best.
“During my time, I was not privileged to get such opportunities. So, it is my ambition and goal to ensure that young Bruneian sportspeople are given this opportunity.”
