Registration now open for 8th Annual Island Jams

Registration is now open for the 8th Annual Island Jams basketball tournament which tips off on June 29 in Ngerchemai.

According to Jon Clapp, this year’s tournament will have some changes. He explained that instead of having a 4-on-4 tournament, they decided to change it to a 3-on-3 tournament.

“It will be the first time that we changed the format of the tournament to reach out more kids and have more teams play,” Clapp added.

The event will have the 9 to 13 years old and the 14 to 18 years old categories. The tournament will be played in a round robin format and each team will play equal amount of games.

Registration fee is pegged at $1 per player and registration forms must be filled up and submitted together with the registration fee either at the PNOC office.

Brand new basketballs will be given away to the winners of the tournament which will also be played at Ngerkesoaol on July13 and in Medalaii on July 20.
