YBOA HOLDS 17th ANNUAL GIRLS’ AND BOYS’ NATIONAL BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS Donald A. Ruedlinger, President of Youth Basketball of America, Inc. announces the schedule for the Girls’ and Boys’ National Basketball Championships to be held in Central Florida this summer.
South Orlando Youth Sports Association hosts these outstanding tournaments for YBOA. These games have become the premier basketball competitions during the summer season from coast to coast. In addition to the basketball games we hold “skills contests” and present academic awards to deserving scholars among the athletes. YBOA is fortunate to have discount tickets for admission to Universal Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, Sea World, Busch Gardens, Wet ‘n Wild and Dixie Stampede available for purchase. Check out our website to preview the events and the attractions – all designed for family fun and exciting vacations. YBOA has made arrangements for hotel room blocks with first class accommodations along International Drive. We also have housing available for those who prefer short term home rentals. You are welcome to view these listings on our website by clicking on this link: http://www.yboa.org.All girls are eligible to participate in the National Tournaments in either of our two Divisions: the National Division is for the teams that finish first through fourth place in their respective state competitions and the American Division is organized for those teams which place lower than fourth. We have returned to the very popular ‘double elimination’ in our girls events and now provide teams with more games and additional opportunities to win first place. • The Boys’ National Championship Tournament has undergone some changes to place more excitement into the competition. After all the teams complete pool play they will be seeded and the National Championship playoff will begin. After the final round of competition, the winning teams advance to the Championship bracket and the remaining teams are entered into a new tournament called the “Orlando Shoot-Out” and these teams play out a new bracket. The same award categories are presented to both tournaments: MVP, All Tournament, Hustler Award and trophies for all places. Please remember that to be eligible for Nationals your team must participate in State Qualifying Tournaments if they are held in your area. If your state is not hosting a State Qualifying Tournament please contact Natalie Shelton at YBOA National Headquarters 407-363-9262 x 200 to obtain an ‘At Large Bid’ and registration packet for your team. We hope that you will consider being a part of this great event! Please contact us at 407-363-9262 regarding any eligibility requirements. |

| FCAT Seminar (Florida) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Robert Moramarco has
been asked by a few coaches about offering a "day lecture" or a "crash
course" in helping kids pass the FCAT Math test. Moramarco is
considering hosting a 5-6 hour seminar about the FCAT Math test. QUALIFICATIONS: 1) 93% overall pass rate this school year. 91% of the pass rate of my students were sophomores. (I taught Informal Geometry and Geometry this year) 2) Only 6 students failed. All were within 14 scale points of passing (286 was my lowest). 3) 50% of my students this year were a Level 4 or 5, including ESE/ESOL students. 4) Students averaged an increase of 42 scale points and over 75 Developmental Scale Score points. 5) Most students scored high on the Geometry and Algebraic thinking portion of the test. 6) In 3 years at Forest High School (2002-2005), I had an 89% pass rate while teaching Intensive Math, Algebra 1A, Algebra 1B, and Informal Geometry. Though Moramarco can't "guarantee" results, he provides steps to help students pass. It is up to each individual to follow strict instructions and it is rigorous and intensive, but he'd like to see all students do well. Cost will be $150.00 ($25.00 an hour) for the day, which would include a packet of questions, tips, and some information regarding the test itself. It is a lecture format with possibly some "hands on" activities and a six-hour intensive course. Please feel free to call Robert Moramarco (352) 215-2249 or email moramarl@hotmail.com if you are interested or have any questions. |
