The Bermuda Gas Annual All-Star Basketball Weekend gets underway today [May 6]. It features two days of community appearances, camps and clinics, opposing team/player tryouts and a VIP reception.
The weekend’s festivities feature the top street basketball players from the United States under the banner of S.K.Y. Streetball Syndicate including WNBA Star Temeka Johnson. The event also will showcase the Bermuda Basketball Association and will kick off with community appearances by players today at CedarBridge Academy and The Berkeley Institute.
Lee Greene, the Bermuda-based representative of S.K.Y. Limited said, “This weekend has become a special event and something we want to continue to enhance each year. We are very thankful for the sponsors that have stepped forward to support this event, especially our presenting sponsor, Bermuda Gas. They are literally making this event possible. The whole weekend is about community and how basketball can bring us together. We are working hard to ensure that it is jam-packed with educational elements, excitement and of course, great basketball.”
Ms Johnson, a point guard for the Phoenix Mercury, will lead a free skills clinic on Saturday [May 7] at the Berkeley gym and at 7pm, there will be a celebrity basketball game.
