Huge crowds enjoyed the Cocomangas Youth  league played under the flood lights at Boracay Island in the beautiful Philippines.

Cocomangas organized and sponsored the youth basketball league of Boracay , which was played at the main plaza at Barangay Balabag.

The winners of the youngest division ,  ages 6 and 7 ,is the tough talented team from the  Boradise Resort, Boracay.

I love basketball and I love my community here at Barangay Balabag situated on the paradise island of Boracay in the beautiful friendly Philippines. To give back to the community Cocomangas Shooter Bar organized ,sponsored and found other sponsors , so that the youth of Boracay could display their basketball skills during the week long tournament for the students and youth .

The youngest division , 6 and 7 yr old , was my personal favourite and was the crowd’s most popular division  of the event. The game of basketball  at such a young age was full of chaos,turnovers , and hilarious moments . The other age groups involved in the week long event were ages 8,9,and 10, ages  11,12, and 13  ,  ages 14 and 15  , and 16 and above rounding out the 5 different divisions .

At every age level you could see the different talent and basketball skills from certain individuals .I’m hoping that with this early exposure to basketball that those kids with some skills will continue to play and practice the game so that later on in life they can kick some butt in the local leagues over here in the Philippines.

I must thank all the sponsors for making it happen;Manana Mexican Resturant,Javas Clothing Company, Metrobank,Crafts Department Store,Summer Place,Hey Jude,Aria ,Casa Asia,Scott Mackinnon,Dave Straw Inn,and Cocomangas Pizza Hot-line.Without sponsors the youth league could not happen so thanks to all that care about basketball and the youth of Boracay .

Yours Truly,
