August 2007

Dear Parents,

Are you frustrated by Singapore’s limited supply of sporting goods? How much did you spend at Dick’s Sporting Goods or the Sports Authority this summer? How many of you came back with suitcases packed full of things you can’t find here?

We understand. We maxed out our credit card in the US this summer, returning with suitcases full of basketball DVD’s, youth size basketball and tennis shoes, baseball gloves and a set of PVC soccer goals for the back yard. We can’t share the non-basketball items, but we have worked hard this summer to make some things easier for you.

FastBreak Program Director
Michael Denzel

So, if you returned empty handed from your summer vacation… or perhaps, you are new to Singapore and didn’t know better, we’re here to help.

We’ve prepared a few essential items that every basketball household should have, and we’ll be updating our list regularly. If there is a basketball related item that you can’t find in Singapore, ask us, and we’ll do our best to help you find it.

For the collector’s amongst you looking for NBA Upper Deck trading cards from the mid-1990’s -- bilingual English/German, English/Spanish or English/French versions – we’ve got a deal for you! Please inquire separately.

Yours in Basketball,

Coach Denzel

P.S. We provide all of the necessary equipment at our practice sessions, including a basketball for each child. We strongly discourage our players from bringing their own basketballs to practice, as inevitably, they get lost, or mixed-in with our own supply. We strongly encourage our players to buy a basketball to use at home or on the playground, and practice what they learn with us in training.
