JAKARTA The Executive Board of the Indonesian Basketball Association (PB Perbasi) appointed the Aras Gading Muda basketball club as a place to foster the magic boy Sagil Muhammad Rizky.
Sagil is a 12-year-old elementary school student who comes from Kerinci, Jambi. He made a scene in the basketball world because at his young age he was almost two meters tall.
Perbasi General Chair Danny Kosasih said that Sagil would be badly needed by a team so that this potential must be developed as well as possible.
"Babbetball players don't have to be tall, but a team must have high players," Danny said at a press conference at the Fame Hotel, Gading Serpong, Tangerang, Thursday, June 27, 2024.

Sagil's physique is the main allure that makes Perbasi move quickly to recruit him. In the future, he will be prepared to become a player in the Indonesian national team.
Danny explained that Sagil still has four years of coaching to get tickets to the U-16 Indonesian national team as the lowest level in Indonesia today. However, all can be faster if Sagil grows rapidly.
"There are only 16 years of the Indonesian national team. If you want to play at a higher level, you can also do it. The goal is to study as much as possible," said Danny.
There are three strong reasons Perbasi appointed the Jakarta Aras Gading Muda (AGM) club to become a place for Sagil to hone his basketball skills.
The club has a good tiered level of coaching. Then, there is clear competition circulation at the club level and the results of the training have been seen and measurable.
"Aras Gading Muda in the national championship between the KU-17 club on April 15-20, 2024 in Bogor, also managed to win the title," said Danny.
Perbasi's steps to recruit Sagil were welcomed by the manager of the Indonesian U-18 Men's National Team, Murni Setionegoro.
He said that Sagil's presence would automatically increase potential players who could be educated and equipped with individual abilities to become professional players in the future.
"Of course, the hope is that Sagil will become an Indonesian weapon in every championship that is participated in," he said.
