PRIOR to the start of their Sherman Smith Mini Basketball Tournament at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium last week, more than 30 coaches in the New Providence Public Primary Schools Sports Association participated and passed their certification course. The course was conducted by Freddie Brown, Christian Wilmore and Yves Pierre at Claridge Primary School on behalf of the Bahamas Basketball Federation. As the mini tournament came to a close on Friday at the KGLI Gymnasium, the coaches were presented with their certification certificates.

Brown, speaking on behalf of the lecturers, commended the coaches for making history as the first group of coaches to attain the certification in the Bahamas.

He said it is a course that they hope to institute throughout the Bahamas.

Mini basketball is the basics for the development of the sport.

In the past, the federation hosted their successful mini programmes during the summer months.

Brown said it’s their intention to reintroduce the programme this year.
