Instead of 8-10pm why not adjust it a little bit to 6-8pm instead considering that the tournament proper will commence on few weeks time starting from Sept. 17 up to the 24th..konting tiis lang naman para sa bayan.

When a practice ends at 10pm, that usually means the players will be really done around 10:30 after post-practice meetings/speeches. Now we don't know where this practice is and where the kids live so give about 30 mins to 1 hour travel time. So they'll be home around 11:30 and they still have to shower, eat and whatever schoolwork they have. Regardless of it's remote school.

These are 14-15 year old kids. And add to that someone has to bring them to/from practice so that person has to manage this schedule also.

Those who have not dealt with things like this do not know the difficulty these young players really go through along with their families.
 
Typical schedule is:

5:30 am - wake up & travel time to school.
7:30 - 3:45 school
4:00 - 6:00 pm - school practice (sometimes excused)
7:00 - 8:00 pm - travel to Meralco gym
8:00-10:00pm - Gilas practice
10:30 - 11:30 - travel time
11:30 - dinner
12 midnight - 1:00am - homework

repeat cycle

lol. Yah, I think your estimate sounds about right, give or take 1-2 hrs depending on how far the player lives and how fast he eats/does homework/dresses up, etc. These kids don't teleport to and from practice.

Based on years of experience also.
 
that is why I am not warm and fuzzy about the propose return to the old school year calendar from June to March because there’s a lot of disadvantage from it especially when talking about the annual sports events and schedules like FIBA, FIFA, Summer Olympics among others wherein some of the major events jumpstarts during the month of June to August or up to 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] week of September depending on how heavy the schedules of each Sports Organization. Another thing, I think one of the main reason why they changed the century old school calendar from June to March and con is because June to August is the usual typhoon months therefore class suspension is always prevalent during those times.

So it doesn’t make sense to revive that thing. Katawa tawa lang yan sa totoo lang (trans. Paging Sen. Will Gat and those few corrupt Deped officials don’t be a jerk please because there’s a lot of options to consider to lessen the impact of the Summer heat of March to April compared to the effect of typhoons starting from the month of June to August that leads to heavy flooding due to heavy rains and the only options for those kids is to stay at home)

Anyway, back to our FIBA U16 bound kids, because DDO Jr. is so much preoccupied nowadays with his father on that ill-fated senior squad. The question now is who’s handling the late evening training of those poor lads, tsk! Tsk! So sad indeed, I hope our poor kids may had a better showing despite lacking the needed financial resources, training, better coaching and height limitations.

Thank you very much SBP your one of the best national sports federation in terms of mediocrity.​
 
With what is happening right now I won't be surprise if we also under perform for the coming conclave...dayun ur is very much preoccupied with the Senior team.

I would even be more surprised if we do well in this tournament (say we finish at least 4th place). This team would be coach by Josh Reyes, right? The son of the most hated person in Philippines right now.
 
Oh circa 2013, a team composed of the Nieto bros and Jose Lorenzo”Jolo”Mendoza that team we mockingly called the “Bantam Squad or the It It boys” because we lack the competitive height on all position for that FIBA U16 edition but we all know what happened our beloved “It It boys” defeated a much taller and higher ranked CTE kids for a chance to play the mighty China team for that 2013 U16 championship and eventually we booked a ticket for the 2014 FIBA U17 World.

I hope with the 2023 edition of the “It It Boys” we could somehow pull some surprises from the upper food chain despite the presence of the AUS and NZL compared to 10 yrs. ago
