It’s time to break out your high-tops and dust off your game because only the top trio will be walking away from the Civic Center Court in Susupe with bragging rights as champions of the Back 2 School “3 on 3” Street Basketball Jam Fest.
Beginning this morning at 9am, teams of three ranging in age between 12 and 18 will hoop it up to compete for the championship and over $1000 in prizes.
Besides the accolades that will surely go with winning the Jam, additional prizes will also be given out to the players and audience for patronage, cheering, sportsmanship, most valuable player, and a half-court shootout.
In addition to the no-look passes and double crossovers, there will be a list of fun and interactive activities and health information that will also take place together with a variety of food and refreshments available.
