Basketball: a great line-up of U7–U9 teams
On 7 November, nearly 40 young basketball players enjoyed a day filled with games, new experiences and camaraderie. All the clubs were present, with the exception of the Pelican’s from Saint-Barthélemy (pelicansbasketsbh@gmail.com), who were unable to attend due to a weather warning. This event was made possible thanks to the efforts of the clubs, coaches, volunteers and families. Plans are already in place to continue the adventure this Saturday, 14 November, for the U11s, followed by the U13s on 21 November, at 1 pm at the Jean-Louis Vanterpool Stadium. Parents wishing to enrol their children can contact the clubs in Saint Martin – Let’s Do It (letsdoit1811@gmail.com), Boys in the Yard (boysndyard@gmail.com), RCM Ballers (rcmballerz97150@gmail.com), AS Phoenicks (phoenicks.fq@gmail.com) – or in Sint Maarten – AYM Eagles (aym.basketball.allstars@gmail.com) and St Peters Ballers (dhelligar12@gmail.com).
By organising these matches, the Northern Islands Basketball Committee aims to promote basketball from a young age and strengthen ties between clubs in Saint Martin, Saint Barthélemy and Sint Maarten.
