YOUNG Bahamian girls with basketball stardom dreams recently took their talents to more tournaments across the United States.

With the support of Consolidated Water (Bahamas) Ltd., Elite Ballers Girls Basketball players travelled to Indiana and Texas to participate in events offering high school and college- level opportunities.

Said CWCO board member Ethan Adderley: “Providing opportunities to travel and compete at a higher level is not just about sports; it is about fostering discipline, team- work, and the pursuit of excellence.

“CWCO is proud to play a role in the journey of Elite Ballers team members and we look forward to seeing them continue to excel both on and off the court.”

The Elite Ballers Girls Basketball programme, established in July 2022, engages girls 12-17 and focuses on fostering the talent of young female basketball players in The Bahamas. CWCO’s donation was allocated towards travel expenses, including accommodations and transportation, for the Indianapolis and Dallas trips.

Beyond displaying their talents for scouts at various tournaments, Elite Ballers players toured an Indiana Pacers practice facility, met basketball stars such as Erica Wheeler, and attended basketball games.

Among the team’s recent accomplishments is a first place win at the Orlando Dynasty Hoops Elite Championship in November 2023.
