Ang 10 ay napili matapos sumailalim sa world-class basketball instruction mula kina Jr. NBA coaches, sa pangunguna ni coach Carlos Barroca at Alaska Ace Tony Dela Cruz, at nagpamalas nang katangian na naaayon sa Jr. NBA core S.T.A.R. values na Sportsmanship, Teamwork, a positive Attitude and Respect sa kabuuan ng camp.

“We have kids in Visayas that showed a tremendous amount of potential at a very young age. We hope they will continue to work on their games and look forward to seeing their growth in our future camps within the region,” pahayag ni Barroca.

Makikipagtagisan ng husay ang Visayan contingent sa kapwa Jr. NBA campers mula sa nalalabing Regional Selection Camps na nakatakda sa Butuan (February 24-25), Baguio (March 17-18) at Manila (April 21-22).
