THE 2008 EDITION of the JR PBA Basketball League formally comes off the wraps Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum with 10 teams seeing action in the league’s annual summer offering for kids.
The teams have been divided into two groups of five that plays in a single round robin from May 4-28.
Bunched in Group A are Alaska-Kalookan, Barangay Ginebra-Antipolo, Air21-Cainta, Purefoods-Pasay and Sta. Lucia-Marikina. In Group B of the tournament for kids 9-12 years old are Coca-Cola-Taguig, Red Bull-Mandaluyong, Magnolia-Makati, Talk ‘N Text-Quezon City and Welcoat-San Pedro.
Last year two divisions comprised the meet, with Welcoat-Makati running away with the title in Division II (11-12 years old) and Talk ‘N Text-Quezon City bagging the championship in Division I (9-10 years old).
“This is a way for kids to enjoy the summer,” said league commissioner Renauld “Sonny” Barrios.
