Yonsei 17 Boys and Girls thank you for your support at our Exhibition Games and throughout the year!

Soon the Yonsei 17 players and families will be heading off to Japan, featuring goodwill games with teams in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture.  Their twelve-day itinerary is packed with cultural activities including home stays with their Japanese host families, tours and sightseeing in Sakata and Sendai, travel by shinkansen, and a visit to the Hiroshima Peace Park.  Best wishes to Y17 on your adventure!

Our Yonsei 16 Inbound guests from Kochi and Sakawa stayed busy this past week in their Goodwill Games with CBO, JAO, SEYO, CYC, CBO, and of course the Yonsei 16 players.  Between basketball events they found time for  a beach BBQ, a Dodger game, trip to Disneyland and California Adventure, and shopping!

Inbound week wrapped up on the evening of Saturday, August 21, with tearful goodbye's as we bid our friends from Japan a fond farewell.  The program spans two years, but the memories and international friendships will last a lifetime!

In keeping with our mission, we awarded three scholarships in 2010.  

One of the scholarships is the Sue Kamiyama Scholarship, named after one of the charter members of the Yonsei Basketball Association, who passed away in 2004. Sue was a valued member of Yonsei since its beginning, and was a strong and vocal advocate of girls youth sports.
