3on3 Basketball Tourney July 1
Back by popular demand is the Fernie 3on3 Canada Day Basketball Tournament!
Produced by local grassroots organization Fernie Steve Nash Youth Basketball, made up of a passionate group of citizens committed to elevating the game of basketball in Fernie, the event is gaining hype among local players.
The organization spearheaded by locals AJ and Jennifer Kennedy have been working hard to produce youth camps, consistent playing opportunities, and now the 3on3 Canada Day Tournament. With the help of local community organizers and basketball players, the tournament has been produced as a fundraiser for Fernie Steve Nash Youth Basketball club and will be an exciting exhibition of local talent, competitive greatness, and fun skills challenges for the whole family.
Fernie 3on3 Canada Day is surrounded by breathtaking mountain peaks. The Saturday, July 1 tournament will take place on three local courts between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. with the main court being located alongside the Fernie Canada Day Celebrations. With both Men and Women’s categories ages 14 and up, the organizers are expecting a diverse and athletic mix of teams, and encourage players from surrounding regions to register for the event.
“Canada is the birthplace of the game of basketball, we can’t celebrate 150 years without celebrating basketball. I think Fernie 3on3 is a great way to offer up a shout out to the game,” said event organizer Tanya Malcolm.
Registration will cost teams $100 and all profits will got to Fernie Steve Nash Youth Basketball whose mission is to create a competitive youth development and club basketball program in Fernie.
The organizers are pursuing event and prize sponsors and invite local businesses or individuals who are passionate about basketball and youth sports to get involved by becoming a sponsor or donating athletic swag for event giveaways and prizes.
