Chooks-to-Go NBTC League 2020 Season in Cavite

This post will be our anchor and will be updated for the entire season. Chooks-To-Go National Basketball Training Center is arguably the biggest developmental program in the Philippines. 

Now on its' 13th year, there are 127 participating cities serving thousands of athletes and mentors as well. With three participating cities during the inaugural season, it has now become a nationwide program that begins in October and lasts until March of the following year with Madness in MOA. This is also called The Nationals.

The Nationals is also the time for NBTC-Coaches Convention that runs for three days with several basketball gurus sharing their expertise. NBTC All-Star Games are played and spread throughout the convention.

The Province of Cavite is a major player for NBTC. NBTC-Cavite Territory head is Coach Macky Torre. This year there are five areas with 16 to 19 teams each vying for the Regional Championship. There is one Commissioner for each area. There will only be one champion for each area. The five champions will play for the right to play in the national championship.

The champion for each region qualifies and will play at the national championship where foreign teams are invited and seeded as well.

The 5 Areas are the following:

Commissioner Alvin Guadines

Commissioner Frederick V. Bael

Commissioner Jun Formoso Laus

Commissioner Benjo Viola Jr

Southwest Cavite Area 

November 15,16,17 - Tanza National Comprehensive High School

November 22 - Amadeo Covered Court

November 23,23 - Tanza Sports Complex

I learned from Coach Fred of South Cavite that this year's Regional Qualifiers is a five-day festival.  For the South Area, the leaders from each bracket are:

Top 1 Bracket A

Top 1 Bracket B

Top 1 Bracket C

Top 1 Bracket D

They are the Final Four and will battle for supremacy tomorrow. 

And in the North Area, we have the coaches in one photo:

Scholastic Sports in Cavite

Hello everyone. 

The Season of Christmas is right around the bend and we all know why. The nights are earlier, longer and colder. No need to run those AC's full blast and then wake up in the middle of the night just to have it switched off. Y'all better lay down those extra linens and put on extra clothes before going to bed to give you a fighting chance against freezing temperature at night.

And while the "bed" weather is getting colder, inter-scholastic sports in Cavite is on the rise and it's getting hotter every minute of the day.

PCU-Dasmarinas Football dominates City Meet 2019 by winning the grade school and high school divisions. For the grade school team, they have won it for the seventh time and high school does a three-peat. 

While we're at it, the Imus Football League is in full swing. The University of Perpetual Help-Calamba and Lyceum University of the Philippines-Cavite leads the 6-team tournament undefeated after Day 3. Cellar-dwellers are the ESS-Seton Saints and on the fifth spot is Imus United FC U17 team.  In the middle of the standings are EAC-Cavite Alumni and Imus Go-for-Gold teams at 3^rd and 4^th spots respectively.  

And the 7^th Amihan Cup opens on November 17 at the PCU-D’s football field. Several age groups are open for registration now.

By now the world knows that Cavite-born super GM Wesley So claimed the 1^st Fischer Random Chess Championship by demolishing fellow super GM and current classical world Champion GM Magnus Carlsen. The Wesley did not lose a single game against Magnus in the said world championship. Congratulations Wes!

In basketball and volleyball, the Inter-School Basketball League and Inter-School Volleyball League, ISBL/ISVL meeting will be opening their games this November and the host venue will be St. Francis of Assisi-Bacoor City. The leagues have been around and have a huge following from around the province. This coincides with CALPS or Cavite Athletic League of Private Schools headed by Mr. Vincent de La Cerna, a teacher, pastor, basketball coach, and official.

And for two Saturdays this November, the 3x3 Age Group Championship of Scholastic Basketball Camp will be held in two different venues. For the younger age groups (Under 11 and Under 13) the games will be held at the Basketball Court of Phase c Treelane 3 Subdivision, Bayan Luma 6 on November 9. And in the older age groups (Under15, Under 17 and Under 19), the venue will be at the basketball court of The Village, Bayan Luma 3 on November 16.

Scholastic Basketball Camp (SBC) runs its developmental basketball tournaments, clinics, and camps on a year-round basis. The Personalized Intensive Training is a once-a-week training with Coach Francis and several coaching staff teaching the kids life skills thru basketball. Summer Camp and the once-in-a-blue-moon Winter Camp is also offered by SBC. 3x3 Age Group Championships and Founders’ Cup are into Season 2 now.  Coach Francis and his partners are envisioning an international-mindedness approach to delivering the services to those who need it most. Slowly and with a careful approach to expansion, basketball is experienced in the SBC way.

With the help of several individuals and friends, the vision is carried out through their aid. Reaching out to several public school students and out-of-school-youth and providing them the opportunity to play and participate, SBC is persevering to deliver its promise.

With all gratitude and humility, Scholastic Basketball Camp sends their heartfelt Salamat po to the following: Ms. Beck Madeja Velasquez of Pulso ng Makabagong Cavitenyo who took a chance on me; to Retired General and Board of Director Gamaliel Cruz of La Trinidad Academy for supporting sports in general and basketball specifically; to my friends Dan Leal of Fil-Australia, Mark Ranet, Nats Tangonan of iCare Intervention Center and Related Exceptionalities, Cynthia Magnawa of the FilCanada Community and Joseph Masinas. 

Making sure the kids are served better, these guys contributed too in one way or another to the success of SBC: Leo Panaligan of NJ, Tina Holl of GER, Carlos Ansus, Elen Distor and BJ De Guzman.

It hasn't been easy this season with the departure of one major partner for Scholastic. But with God's grace, we are strengthened to continue and deliver.

All for the Glory of God!

Semper ad Meliora!
