This week we have presented the XLIII edition of our Minibasket Tournament, which will start next Saturday, January 14.
The presentation was given by Mr. Manuel Belinchón -General Director of the Colegio Leonés- and Mr. José Estrada, sports advisor of the school.
The event was attended on behalf of the Basketball Federation of Castilla y León Mr. José Manuel Vázquez and Mr. Felipe Redondo (coordinator of the Sports Schools of the City of León in the area of basketball).
Our tournament has become a national reference, not only because of the years it has been held (it began in 1977) but also because of the large number of young players who have participated in all the editions played so far.
D. Manuel Belinchón explained that the Colegio Leonés tournament is more than a sporting competition: it is a tool that seeks to educate the young people of León through sport.
On the day of the awards ceremony, an exhibition game will be held between the best players from each team in the tournament and, as on other occasions, there will also be awards for the winners of the free throw, position shots and best academic record contests.
In addition, in this edition we will add the award for good behavior and sportsmanship of the team that demonstrates it throughout the tournament. All games will be played in our school located in José Aguado Avenue.
Once again, from the Colegio Leonés we bet for the basketball base in our city in a clear and decisive way:
We wait for all of you from the 14th!
