Youth Basketball Guyana (YBG) is scheduled to launch the 2012 Regional Conference segment of the country’s leading school basketball championship, the National School Basketball Festival (NSBF), which will be done next Wednesday.
The occasion will take place at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall from 11am. The National School Basketball Festival has been the largest school basketball tournament in the last three years with its existence spanning six years.
It is the schools’ competition with arguably the highest standard, and has also been used as one of the main yardsticks to select players to compete at the Inter-Guiana Games (IGG).
This year, for the second time, the Regional Conference tournaments contested in five zones will precede the National Championships. Digicel Guyana Inc., Banks DIH and Edward B Beharry & Company Ltd. has renewed their sponsorship commitment with YBG.
Coordinators of the event, including Executive Director, Chris Bowman, along with officials from the Government and Cooperate partners will officially launch the event that is expected to attract some 50 school teams from across Guyana.
