GRASSROOTS level basketball takes centerstage as teams from all over the city and the region battle for the right to represent Cebu in the 2013 Coca Cola PBA Youngstars Tournament which kicks off this Monday at the Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu basketball courts in Canduman, Mandaue City.
None other than PBA commissioner Atty. Chito Salud, will grace the opening festivities alongside Atty. Adel Tamano of Coca Cola. Ten teams will be vying for the honors led by last year’s champions, the Lancers and the runners-up, the Warriors.
Joining them are the Eagles, ACES, Greywolves, Jaguars, Easternians, Perfect Sports Outfit/One on One, Panthers and Golden Dragons of Bohol.
Each team is composed of 12 players, with three players each coming from the Under 13, 14, 15 and 16 age groups.
The Cebu leg is part of a nationwide network of provincial tournaments. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
