When Will Basketball Start? - Jul 7, 2011 (by Eurobasket News)
Windhoek The persistent question has taken a life of its own. It has been asked again and again. It has been answered again and again. It is a question that reflects, we believe, a love for the game of basketball and a strong desire to play and continue playing.
The mission of the Namibian Basketball Federation is about much more than sporting excellence. It is also about developing a culture of respect, excellence and friendship [read more]

The mission of the Namibian Basketball Federation is about much more than sporting excellence. It is also about developing a culture of respect, excellence and friendship. We are committed to making basketball a game for all across the nation.
Furthermore, we want a re entry onto the continental and international arena.
To that end, we are encouraging our affiliate members to develop teams and clubs whose players are stronger, in tremendous basketball shape and are intense competitors.
We know that players play harder and better if they are having fun. They will only do so in an environment that is safe and free of violence; where the tradition of fair play is promoted and honourable sports competition is the norm.
To create this environment we must have trained, accredited coaches, referees and table officials.
Over and above that, we must be in compliance with FIBA General Statutes and Internal Rules because we are members thereof. So in answer to the question: When will the league start? Courtesy of: New Era

The Namibian Basketball Federation's (NBF) successful summer camp series reached Outjo last week.
The latest mini-basketball camp had 20 selected children from Outjo Primary School and Jack Francis Primary School as well as eight coaches and teachers participating. The goal, as always, was to teach children and coaches the basics of mini-basketball.
After a week of dribbling, passing, shooting and playing the participants were rewarded with certificates as well as T-shirts for their efforts by Kunene Basketball Association (KUBA) president Lukas Shikulo, who organised the event. Shikulo then promised to install a new basketball court in the location's stadium with the help of Outjo municipality.
NBF expert Frank Albin not only conducted the camp, but he also handed over 20 balls, three rims and other equipment to KUBA courtesy of the German Government and the German Olympic Sports Confederation.
The next summer camps will lead NBF to the regions Karas and Omusati. Courtesy of: http://www.namibian.com.na/
