Why 5 on 5 Basketball?

Benefits of 5 on 5 Basketball:

1. More teams can play in a single day

2. Watching a regular basketball tournament sitting for 4 hours to watch two games is passive. People who love the game can get involve instead of watching.

3. The rules of 5 on 5 basketball eliminates bad officiating which is a common complain.

4. In regular tournaments, teams play an average of 3 games in eliminations but not all the players will get the chance to play. In 5 on 5, teams also play 3 games but all the players will get the chance to play.

5. Players can build a team very easily.

6. Health Benefits. A regular exercise programme like 5 on 5 Basketball can provide a healthy lifestyle. You can have a healthier body to sustain the needs of your kids while they grow up.

5 on 5 Basketball Games Tentative Schedule

Registration is still open. Exciting basketball like a regular game. You have 3 points, 2 points for regular shots and free throws with penalty.  If you have 5 in a Team with uniforms you can join. If you feel you are being left out in the bench in previous tournaments, now is the chance to prove yourself because you are in the game the whole time. So easy, no fuzz, no need to find a big sponsor just play the game.

For starters, we will accept teams with players as tall as 5′-9″ below or if you are taller then you must be 35 above, but anyway submit your Team Line-up and we’ll see. This is a short tournament but the next one will be open category. Let’s see how it goes.
