We just had a wonderful youth tournament over the past weekend, and it was great to watch the games. The tournament was held in Limpopo Province at Seshego basketball court. It involved both boys and girls. The tournament was for the following age group: U14, U16, U18 and u21. All the teams from the province were present travelling as much as 255km to form part of the tournament. We had a total of 425 players who participated in this tournament. These teams used their own transport, food and accommodation just for the sake of the game. We also used the tournament as opportunity to select the under/boys and girls as well as the u17 boys and girls.

Winners were as follows:

14 Boys: Koloti Knicks

14 Girls:Mahweleraeng Vampires

16 Boys: Koloti Knicks

16 Girls Mahwelereng Vampires

18 Boys Koloti Knicks

18 Girls Seshego Sonics

21 Men- Polokwane heat

21 Women- Mahwelereng Vampires.

We will be hosting the winter heat men’s tournament during the second week of July.

In 2007 after getting frustrated at the lack of information about the game he loved in South Africa, Victor decided to start Mybasketball and he hasn't looked back. For close to 15 years, Victor has experienced the game as a player, a coach, a spectator and now from a media perspective. The whole purpose of Mybasketball is to keep the fans informed about the game and anything related to it; whether it is here in SA, Africa or Overseas. Victor has made some great friends along the way and rekindled some amazing friendships through the game.. Some of those friends have joined him on this crusade to make basketball better for everyone, and he looks forward to a South Africa where basketball gets the credit it deserves and the focus is on youth development and improving the coaches.
