WELCOME/
Dear Players, Coaches, and Parents,
On behalf of Antwerp International School, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 NECIS U14 Basketball Championships here in beautiful Antwerp, Belgium. We are honored to host this exciting event and to bring together talented young athletes for a weekend of competition, sportsmanship, and celebration.
Over three days, you will experience the energy and spirit that make this tournament so special. Our goal is to create an environment where every player can compete with pride, demonstrate positive sportsmanship, and build lasting memories both on and off the court. We are grateful to the coaches for their dedication in preparing their teams, and to the parents for the support and encouragement you provide throughout the season.
Antwerp International School is committed to offering a warm, safe, and welcoming atmosphere for all visiting teams. Our staff, volunteers, and student helpers are here to assist you in any way possible—whether you need directions, information, or simply a friendly face.
We hope you enjoy not only the tournament, but also the opportunity to explore Antwerp—a city rich with culture, history, charm and CHOCOLATE. May this championship weekend be filled with great games, new friendships, and moments that will stay with you long after the final whistle.
Thank you for joining us. We wish all teams the very best of luck!
Warm regards,
Pete Vandebovenkamp
Athletic Director
