ABaCoDe Wraps Up First Inter-Community League

ABaCoDe Ghana's first ever inter-community league ended over the weekend. Fueled by the lack of an organized league for youth(U15), the organization created the league to cater for their kids' game needs from all four communities ABaCoDe runs after school programs in. Exciting games were played every Saturday at the CYCC Court, Kawukudi among the teams. The championship day went great, the post on ABaCoDe's facebook read:
 
''It happened yesterday, after months of hard work and determination, the time had finally come to crown the Champions and reward those who excelled on and off the court! 6 teams, 8 matches, mad skills, all of it on ONE court! Big ups to Youngsters who came 4th, Golden Boys (3rd), Bravehearts (2nd) and Shining Stars (1st). It was a long journey but we have made it! We also have to mention Lady Soldiers and Spartans who played in great exhibition games. Thanks to all participants!''
 
According to country director of ABaCoDe, Marie-Eve Lemieux, the next season of the league is scheduled to start soon, this time with other non-ABaCoDe teams competiting as well.

2nd Annual Dynasty Summer League Ends

This afternoon marked what could also have been described as the end of Dynasty Basketball Association's summer programs; the main one being the summer camp which has run for the past four years. The second edition of their now annual summer league ended at the Lincoln Community School basketball gym in Abelemkpe.

The league was designed by the staff of the DBA to serve as a platform for kids to improve their game through more play.  The league that ran for the past four Saturdays saw the kids play a good amount of games. ''A lot of 3 on 3 was played using the FIBA 3x3 rules to help kids get more touches of the ball during the game'', head coach Isaac Kwapong said.

''Apart from the kids having fun, it's quite clear that a good number have also improved in their game, even though there's still a lot of work for them to put in to improve'', he added.
