Basketball Federation Changes Focus
posted (April 12, 2011)
In August of 2009, Belizeans were throwing all their support behind the men's senior national basketball team as they won a silver at the COCABA championship in Cancun.

That led to Centro Basket last year in which the Belize team failed to qualify for the next round. And with that, the Basketball Federation has decided to re-focus its energies on building its youth programme - the under 14, under 16, and under 17.

So, Belize will not participate in the upcoming COCABA championship games for men being held at the end of this month. The next big tournament then is the under 17 COCABA Championship games in Costa Rica in late May. A press release will be held tomorrow to further explain the new direction.
