    IF plans push through, TnT Katropa will have the first crack on the kind of playing bubble the Inspire Sports Academy could offer.

    TnT management is now looking to hold its team workouts in the training facility located in Calamba, Laguna for two to three weeks once the PBA gives all 12 teams the green light to start training.

    Team manager Gabby Cui confirmed the ongoing discussion with the world-class Philippine sports institution that features full sport science and educational support.

    “We are aiming for Inspire Sports Academy for our training camp when practices start,” said Cui on Monday.

    Inspire Sports Academy will be the same facility the Chooks-to-Go 3x3 Pilipinas is going to use for its first ever tournament as a pro league, where a similar playing bubble will be put up.

    Cui said the facility is going to be for the exclusive use of the Katropa while they are in the bubble.

    “We wanted to take advantage of their great facilities,” he added.

    The ballclub initially eyed the Splendido Country Club in Laurel, Batangas to serve as its workout camp, the place having served as the perfect location of the Katropa’s team buildings in the past.

    Cui however, didn’t mention why Splendido was suddenly out of the picture.

    The Katropa are so far, the only ones who will be travelling and going out of Manila for their workouts.

    They already asked for the blessing of the PBA and the Games Amusements Board (GAB) regarding the matter, and will likewise need the approval of the local government of Calamba before the team could start their bubble inside the academy.
