The event will once again be held at the Gatorade Hoops Center in Mandaluyong with 24 of the best high school ballers in the land will showcase their skills.

Aside from lending the venue, Gatorade will also provide the hydration for the players as one of the major sponsors of the said event.

“Exposing these young players to high level coaching and, more importantly, the crucial role that proper hydration will play in their basketball careers, will pave the way for them to reach new heights.
