Basketball Without Borders opens 12th BWB Asia camp in Australia

The NBA and FIBA’s global basketball development and community outreach program Basketball Without Borders (BWB) opened its 12th BWB Asia Camp with several Filipinos in attendance in Australia.

BWB Asia brought in 60 high-school age boys and girls from 15 countries and territories across the Asia-Pacific region, with this year’s crop including Gilas youth players Caelum Harris and Jared Bahay of the boys team and Camille Nolasco of the girls team as well as LA John Andres and Quinn Kacey Dela Rosa.

The camp invitees had the opportunity to learn from NBA players such as Jarrett Allen of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Josh Green of the Dallas Mavericks, Cameron Johnson of the Phoenix Suns, and Coby White of the Chicago Bulls. Also coaching the camp are NBA assistant coaches and scouts as well as former WNBA players Kristi Harrower and Annie La Fleur and former Australian national team player Jenni Screen.

The campers were able to experience a variety of on and off the court activities, focusing on movement, positional skill development, and shooting and skills competitions. BWB Asia also held a FIBA coaches clinic in the afternoon attended by over 50 coaches.
