PP Perbasi Will Visit The Potential Net Area For National Team Players

JAKARTA - The Central Board of the Indonesian Basketball Association (PP Perbasi) made a number of efforts to recruit potential in the regions. PP Perbasi will travel around Indonesia to directly recruit talented young players to be recruited into the national team.

Secretary General of PP Perbasi Nirmala Dewi said that there were seven cities that would be visited, but those cities were still in the discussion stage.

However, he confirmed that the seven cities were cities that had been contributing national basketball players.

“We open up opportunities for young people to defend the Red and White in various international events through basketball. We will come and hold a selection in the near future," said Nirmala in an official statement, Sunday, April 3.

He said that talented young players who met the qualifications of the coaches would be included in the PP Perbasi list.

They will then be recruited to play as a team in a match, one of which is by strengthening the Indonesian Patriots team in the Indonesian Basketball League (IBL).

Indonesia Patriots is a team consisting of young players or the so-called young elite national team prepared by Perbasi as a coating for the senior national team.

PP Perbasi previously selected young basketball players, both from students and universities, who later strengthened the Indonesia Patriots team in the 2021 and 2022 IBL seasons.

"Everything is still being worked out. But one thing is certain, PP Perbasi always provides opportunities for Indonesian youth to defend the nation through basketball. Please prepare yourselves and welcome this valuable opportunity for the sake of pride in defending the country," he said.
