The inaugural season of the National Developmental Sports League Basketball Series unveils on May 13 at Met Park Sports Center in Pasay City with some of the top players from different age groups representing their schools competing.
Managed by former PBA referee Joel Ngo, who previously worked as commissioner of the NCAA, the country’s oldest basketball league, will bring his wealth of experience in the cage circuit as the NDSL commissioner.
He will be assisted by operations head Jayson delos Santos and program director Farley Aguila with Nudge+ serving as the official broadcaster. NDSL is a multi-sports program tasked to provide platforms for the youth – and it couldn’t come at a perfect time this summer.
Basketball will kick things off for NDSL starting this Tuesday with teams of Smash Basketball, Adamson, Perpetual Help, R1 Sports, San Beda, Manuel Luis Quezon, St. Clare, Keanzel, and San Sebastian taking centerstage.
Under-25 action gets under way beginning 8 a.m. with Smash Basketball taking on the Falcons of coach Nash Racela.
The next two games pit the 19-under teams of Perpetual and R1 Sports at 9:30 a.m. followed by the match between Smash Basketball and San Beda at 11 a.m.
Under-25 action returns in the afternoon with San Beda and MLQU squaring off at 12:30 p.m. and St. Clare battling Keanzel at 2 p.m.
Wrapping up the six-game bill is the match featuring San Sebastian and Keanzel’s under-19 squads.
Games will be streamed live from May 13 until the final day of the tournament on May 30 at The Nudge+ Facebook page.
