In this section let's transcribe what coaches and athletes say of this XVIII CAB Tournament: “My junior athletes had already been here in the past season, with the selections of the Azores and enjoyed it very much. They talked to me to see if I could follow them this year and of course I did. It is important to live with other teams and compete with other realities. Everything's going great. The girls finished school and came to compete and have fun”. João Santos (Trainer of Sportiva – Azores) “We are a team that throughout the year plays with the CAB in seniors and the invitation arose in these games. Later, I was an athlete here in this club and I wish I could provide my athletes with contact with Madeira basketball that has quality and also m that could come and see the island. Finally, it is always a pleasure to be in a place where there is great interaction and have an attitude that is healthy and related to the modality and that also allows us to compete. Everything's going great and we're really enjoying it. They are fun and everything we were waiting for has happened”. Gilda Correia (Trainer of Quinta dos Lombos) “The SIMEQ two years ago was in this tournament, we were very well received and decided to return. We really like the island, the environment, we like to play basketball. They treat us very well and whenever there are conditions we will be here with great pleasure and pleasure. Everything is going very well, very good organization, good games, good arbitrations, the very good environment and we want to enjoy the maximum of this week” Luís Roseiro (SMEQ Trainer) “The CAB Tournament is important because it has a lot of impact on the continent. All the teams that come here, they leave satisfied and very pleased with the organization. For us it is a new experience, because we are also a new club. We wanted to know this reality of the CAB that has a spectacular project. So far, everything's impeccable. Very well received, very well housed, all five stars”. Elisabete Parreira (Trainer of the Paço d’Arcos) “This is a tournament that personally tells me a lot, because I was here as a player and it is with great pleasure that now as a coach, I bring my team here. I have excellent memories, it is a tournament with great conviviality, a lot of friendship and some competitiveness that is important and it is essential to know other realities and leave our comfort space, our city and be with a strong group. Participating in an event of this dimension is essential for the formation of these young people. Everything's great. I just have to thank the organization because everything is great” João Kettle (Salesian Trainer, Estoril) “It is a tournament that is always reference and during the season we point out to parents that there is this event. It is very interesting for the organization you have and I want to leave my congratulations here. Without a lot of support, they do very good things and provide great conviviality. We didn't just come here for basketball, we came here for fun. They gain a very strong collective connection and strengthen the group spirit. Here we bring our youngest athletes to gain experience and not with the concern of winning. We are enjoying it very much, because everything is going very well, from food to sleep, guides, organization, congratulations". Paulo Ferreira (FC Gaia Trainer)
