THE Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) will pay tribute to the players, coaches and officials who made a valuable contribution to women’s basketball in the Philippines through its “Legends Circle.”
The league already shortlisted eight nominees for the first batch of inductees which will be finalized upon evaluation by the Honors Committee chaired by WNBL ambassador Kiefer Ravena.
The first batch will formally be enshrined to the Legends Circle in the opening ceremony of the inaugural season of the league as a professional this year.
“This is our way to honor the legends whose passion paved the way for the younger generation to pursue the sport we all love,” said WNBL executive vice president Rhose Montreal following a meeting with the executive committee on Tuesday.
The competition committee led by vice president of basketball operations Edward Aquino and vice chaired by commissioner Haydee Ong, meanwhile, is finalizing the tournament rules and guidelines this week to be approved by the executive committee.
The executive committee was recently formed in which players were included as members. They are Allana Lim, Angeli Gloriani, Raiza Palmera-Dy, Marichu Bacaro, Fille Cainglet, Adrienne Lualhati, Ays Hufanda, Krizanne Ty, Karla Manuel and Carol Sangalang.
Ty, who is the safeguarding committee chairman, will present the proposed safeguarding policies of the league on and off the court.
Details of the WNBL 1v1 tournament will also be announced this weekend.
