May Madness 2024 will showcase a total of 73 participating teams: 58 in the men’s category and 15 in the women’s. These teams will compete head-to-head at the Coral Springs Gymnasium. 🏀
El Salvador received a special invitation from the Master Basketball Association (MBA) for its maxibasketball teams to participate in the May Madness 2024 National Masters Championship. This prestigious event will take place in Coral Springs, Florida, United States, from May 6 to 11.
Earlier today, representatives of the Maxibasketball teams proudly received the national flag from Roberto Calderón, the legal manager of INDES. As they prepare for their journey to Florida, Calderón expressed his confidence in their ability to represent El Salvador on this international stage.
María Hércules, a seasoned player from the +50 years category, shared her perspective on basketball’s significance in her life. She emphasized that basketball is a passion and a source of camaraderie, dedication, and well-being.
The Coral Springs Gymnasium will witness fierce competition as these talented athletes vie for victory.
This invitation from the MBA came thanks to the excellent work that the National Maxibasketball League of El Salvador has done, as it has 36 teams that remain active with games throughout the year. “We’re going with all the enthusiasm we’ve always had; we’ve prepared ourselves physically and mentally to give our best performance. Even at our age, we continue to maintain that sportsmanship and discipline that our coaches instilled in us from our beginnings in basketball,” said Antonieta Garay, president of the league.
El Salvador will be represented by two female delegations in the 40+ years category and one in the 50+ years category. Additionally, in the men’s category, El Salvador will compete in the 40+ years category. Notably, this year marks the MBA’s 40th anniversary, and they are introducing the women’s competition in this event.
“We aim to secure a top position—ideally first or second place. As women, we are proud pioneers within the event, representing El Salvador as the sole participants from the isthmus,” emphasized Antonieta Garay, president of the league.
