March 2022 - Caribbean Rose is proud to announce that the 2022 V.I. Jaguars  Basketball Team will play a shortened season this academic school year.  Locally, the government has lifted almost all Covid-19 Pandemic  restrictions. Making it possible to play a shortened season. Listed  below are all canceled events that were planned at the beginning of the  season and a list of tournaments the 2022 V.I. Jaguars Basketball Team  will compete in this season. Events and dates are subject to change. The  health and safety of all of our players come first. 

 Spring 2022 - ​​NBE, in  conjunction with Caribbean Rose would like to let the community know  that there may not be a 2022 Small Fry Basketball season. The world is  still being affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. It would be irresponsible  for our organization to hold tryouts and practices during this time. If  anything changes we will let the community know. Even if the team  wanted to hold practices and travel to compete with other teams  restrictions imposed by the local government make this impossible to do  at this time. The Small Fry Basketball Association currently has dozens  of Small Fry Basketball Teams throughout the United States, Caribbean,  & Latin America currently being affected by this pandemic. 

 The Small Fry Puerto Rico Basketball  Association made the difficult decision to cancel the 2022 Puerto Rico  Small Fry Invitational Tournament. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Puerto  Rico, as of this writing, is still under severe COVID-19 restrictions that would have made having the tournament impossible.  Caribbean Rose agrees with their decision. The health and safety of its players will always come first.
