KAS, dedicated to enhancing the capacity of sports technical and administrative personnel and conducting sports research, will deploy a team of 6 professional scouts to identify the best basketball talent during these tournaments.

The scouts will assess players’ skills, potential, and dedication, aiming to identify individuals with the promise of reaching greater heights in their basketball careers.

A core initiative of KAS is to provide opportunities for athletes to enhance their skills through exposure to international competitions. In line with this, KAS has secured sponsorships to facilitate the overseas journey of promising talents discovered during events like the Eliud Owalo Foundation Basketball Tournaments.

This sponsorship will offer these athletes a unique chance to develop their skills on a global stage, contributing to the growth of Kenyan basketball on an international level.
