What an incredible journey it has been for Tampa Sports Academy NZ at the Manila Live U16 and Manila Hoops U16/17 Basketball Tournament 2026! 🏀🔥
Over 7 intense days and 11 hard-fought games, our teams showed true heart, resilience, and passion for the game. Manila Hoops secured 2 well-earned wins, while Manila Live added another victory to the tally — but beyond the scores, every single game was a testament to growth, grit, and teamwork.
This tournament was more than just competition — it was an opportunity for our players to challenge themselves against strong international teams, adapt to different conditions, and push toward their maximum potential. Experiences like this shape not only better athletes, but stronger individuals who carry discipline, dedication, and love for the game.
