CESAFI auxiliary events to fire off this Sunday
CEBU, Philippines - The auxiliary events of the 9th Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (CESAFI) season will kick off this Sunday and not on August 22 as initially scheduled.
“It was decided that instead of waiting until August 22 for the opening of the other events, why not have it earlier so that the athletes could also participate in other events lined up after CESAFI,” said University of Cebu (UC) athletic director Bernard Ricablanca.
As an effect of this sudden change, the final screening of athletes was delayed because of lack of documents and the absence of some tournament managers.
Ricablanca said that some coaches were informed regarding the matter, but some of them have not prepared yet since they thought the opening will be on August 22.
As of the moment, only athletics, chess and swimming events are done with the proper screening of their respective athletes. The rest have yet to finalize everything this week.
Meanwhile, CESAFI volleyball tournament director Ryan Aznar said that they will tap the Cebu Volleyball Association (CEVA) to handle the officiating.
“We are hiring the services of CEVA because they are known for their high standard of officiating,” said Aznar.– Marigold P. Lebumfacil (THE FREEMAN)
