The future is bright for Batang Gilas (Philippine National Youth Basketball Program) as they have recruited 14 year old Filipino-Australian Ethan Kirkness, who now stands at 6’9.
Ethan Kirkness is now being trained by former NBL player Greg Fox in Australia and is set to join Batang Gilas in the FIBA Asia U16 Championship next year. Ethan is already a dual citizen and holds a Philippine Passport, which is a requirement to be able to play in FIBA Tournaments.
