Basketball Fiji coach, Laisiasa Puamau says they held their after-school kid's program for children between the ages of 5 to 14 years old.

He says this is to give kids more exposure and for them to show what they learn during the program and display it on the court.

Puamau says they are trying to build more visibility and mileage for basketball for kids in this age group and to strengthen their grassroots base for the game.

International Basketball Federation Head of Women in Basketball and Special Projects, Michal Konecny says he is overwhelmed with the hospitality of the Fiji Basketball Federation and says he is new to this role and is amazed by the work done by the Fiji Basketball Federation.
