Joint Tournament

Joint Tournament

Each year in partnership with the San Francisco Enchantées, the Associates hold a joint tournament in the Spring. Boys and girls from grades 6th through the 12th participate. Teams throughout the Bay Area are invited to take part in a great weekend filled with competitive games, sportsmanship, good will and friendship.

The goal of the Joint Tournament is to provide young athletes an opportunity to play basketball in an environment that fosters teamwork, sportsmanship, respect for teammates and competitors, in a healthy competitive spirit. Today so much emphasis is put on winning in the game of sports, but through this joint effort the hope of having fun playing for the love of the game is emphasized.
