BRUNEI Darussalam participant Ruby Ang will be taking part in the International Basketball Foundation (FIBA) Youth Leadership Seminar in Singapore which will run from June 22 – 24.
The workshop, which unites 15 representatives from Southeast Asia and the Pacific region, will see participants undergo intensive leadership training, with the goal of delivering a FIBA-sanctioned U18 Mixed National 3×3 tournament in their respective countries.
Each individual will be educated on the intricacies of presiding over a FIBA-sanctioned 3×3 tourney. FIBA will fully support and fund the U18 3×3 Mixed tournament in preparation for the Youth Leaders Basketball Cup.
The national tournaments will be the official qualifiers for the Youth Leaders Basketball Cup on September 7-10 in Bali, Indonesia and the winning teams will represent their country in the final tournament.
The seminar will be supervised by Mthoko Madonda, the former captain of the South African basketball national team and founder of Reach Sports Management. Madonda supervised the IBF 3×3 Young Lions Cup in Antilles last year.
“We are excited to be working with IBF on the Youth Leadership Cup again. We are looking forward to meeting 15 amazing youth leaders from Southeast Asia and the Pacific and providing them with leadership and basketball for good training,” said Mthoko.
