The Basketball Association of the Northern Mariana Island and the Northern Marianas Amateur Sports Association will have their respective monthly general membership meetings in the coming days.<\/p>\n
BANMI will hold its tete-a-tete these days earlier than usual, this coming Saturday, Jan. 29, 12pm at the conference room of the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.<\/p>\n
Association president Michael White, citing an off-island trip next week, requested that BANMI\u201ds regular Tuesday meeting be advanced to the earlier date.<\/p>\n
Topics to discussed in the BANMI meeting are the ongoing 2004 Government Basketball League and updates on the upcoming 35-and-over Masters Basketball League and 25-and-under Basketball League.<\/p>\n
The governing sports body of the CNMI, meanwhile, will conduct its general membership meeting on its regular first-Thursday-of-the month schedule, Feb. 3, beginning 6:30pm at the Ada Gym conference room.<\/p>\n
All board members of NMASA are required to attend the meeting. Sports associations sending athletes to the Palau 2005 South Pacific Mini Games must also send a representative to the gathering.<\/p>\n
NMASA is in the thick of preparations for the quadrennial event, set from July 25 to Aug. 4 in Koror.<\/p>\n
Nominees for January athletes and student athletes of the month would also be voted on during the NMASA February meeting.<\/p>\n
The association is also set to make the selection for Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year awards during the sports body\u2019s general membership meeting.<\/p>\n
The annual NMASA Athlete of the Year banquet will be held on Feb. 17 at the Dai-Ichi Hotel Saipan Beach. A total of 29 athletes from eight disciplines are nominated to the yearly awards presentation.<\/p>\n
