This spring, we will be starting a boy's club team named "TEAM ELITUS OKINAWA".
This team will be registered with the Japan Basketball Association (JBA), thus allowing us to compete in official Japanese tournaments. We will also aim to participate in U.S.-circuit and/or AAU competitions during the summer months. Our activity is something that has rarely been seen in Japan.
Although we don't have the funding yet and this is indeed a new team, there sure will be obstacles. However, we will be able to do this because of the distinct environment that Okinawa provides. Whether Japanese or American, we desire to build a diverse team that goes beyond Okinawa and challenges itself overseas; while igniting Okinawa basketball. We will initially start with a Boy's team but hope to start a Girl's team as soon as we can.
We will be hosting our inaugural tryouts at the end of March. Details are listed below. Please click the red "sign-up" button below to register.
