Young basketballer's gear up for 3X3 tourney

A team of eight young basketball enthusiasts will leave our shores this weekend for the 2012FIBA Oceania 3-on-3 Youth tournament.

U16 boys coach Peni Ratumaiyali says that this is a first for Fiji and they are looking forward.

“This is the first time we are sending a 3-on-3 team down to Coffs Harbour especially for the U16, majority of this are 15 years and what I m trying to do now is for them to gain exposure going down overseas and see the kinda level of competition there in Australia. That’s why we’re taking a team down to expose themself down to those kind of big competition.”

The team is expected to leave our shores on Saturday.
