Four OSBA athletes were selected to play in the camp all-star games.

The ninth edition of the Basketball without Borders Americas camp was held from July 5-8 in Nassau, Bahamas. A total of 66 athletes born in 2000 were invited from 16 countries and territories within the Americas to learn from NBA and FIBA players, alumni and coaches and to train with and compete against the best young players from each nation.

Of the 66 athletes who attended camp, eight were from the Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association (OSBA). Five athletes were invited for the boys’ camp and four to the girls’ camp.

The OSBA’s presence was clearly evident at the camp as Addison Patterson was named to the boys’ all-star team, while Lauren Boers, Piper Doo and Emily Martindale were named to the girls’ all-star team. 

The success of OSBA athletes at this camp is another example of the league’s contributions to Canada’s continued influence and growth in the development of promising youth basketball prospects.
