The Basketball Association of the Northern Mariana Islands is eyeing an early September start for its 25-and-under Basketball League.
In a telephone interview yesterday, BANMI board member and 25-and-under coordinator Abner Venus is calling on all interested teams to prepare for the competition. Entrance fee for the 25-and-under cage league is $800.
While jerseys are required for all teams, Venus said BANMI is willing to compromise as long as teams wear same colored T-shirts and matching shorts for the competition.
He said BANMI is expected to finalize the format for the 25-and-under Basketball League during its next scheduled monthly meeting next month.
For more inquiries about the 25-and-under Basketball League, contact Venus at 483-4906 or fellow coordinator Elias Rangamar at 664-2502.
