IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR THIS SATURDAY

1) Scheduling games for tournament has been difficult due to the number of teams participating, therefore be prepared to wait 2-3 hours or more in between games. We will do our best to move games along once a game is finished to start the next game promptly.

2) There is limited seating in the facility and we ask that parents and players should leave the court area upon the completion of their game to allow those scheduled for the next game.

3) Parking - on both sides of the facility of Hoop Heaven. If this is full, additional parking is available to the left of the facility (when facing the gym) or to the right. These are overflow lots that you can park in. Do not park or block any areas in front of the facility where the signs say NO PARKING. Fire hazard and vehicles will be towed.

4) There is no tailgating in the parking lots or any of the facility grounds as the facility owner strictly forbids this due to liability issues. Those not respecting these rules will be dismissed from the tournament and no refund will be given.

5) No food should be brought into the gym and consumed in the court area. Please go out to eat lunch/snacks.

TORONTO, HUSAY JC,
LUNAR NYC, LADY ROCKITS
Dance Away with championships

 

 

 

March Badness 2024 started with a bang as numerous games came down to the final seconds and finished with a game winning buzzer beater - highlighted by the buzzer beating 3-pointer by Usman Rasool of TORONTO in the semifinal overtime victory over NYBD sending them to the championship game and ultimately the Men's Open CHIP over the NYK Spartans.

 

The Men's Friendship saw two teams that played each other in their opening preliminary game, but this time, it was HUSAY JC who turned up the defense and defeated the Philadelphia Suns to capture the CHIP.

 

 

 

   
The Boys 18u division saw two of the best teams from the metro NYC area as perennial contenders Lunar NYC and Husay JC battled it out with LUNAR NYC pulling away in the final minutes and the CHIP.  The Girls 18u division saw four organizations from the NYC area - Lunar NYC, BSA, NY Rockits and NYC Elites that proudly support ladies/girls Asian basketball. The championship game pitted the Lunar NYC Lady Warriors Girls against the NY Lady Rockits Girls in a game full highs and lows and lead changes. In the end, the Lady Rockits Girls 18u team captured the CHIP.

May 2022 - When you talk hoops, NYC ballers are always in the conversation as having some of the best ballers. But that is beginning to change as New Jersey has begun to show their dominance on the east coast as evidenced by their success at the recent NACBA Pre Nationals at Union City High School on the weekend of May 7-8, 2022. Husay JC (Jersey City) captured the championships in the Boys 18u, Boys 15u, and Girls 18u divisions. Also making a name for themselves are the NJ Mustangz as they doubled up and won CHIPS in the Boys 11u and Boys 12u divisions. NYC hoops did bring home the Men's Open championship - NY Rockits and the Boys 13u Championship - NY Titans.

It was a weekend full of buzzer beaters, game winning shots and parents/family/friends showing their support. We look forward to seeing everyone soon at the next event.
