Building on the success of last year's Blitz and as a curtain raiser to the forthcoming 2007 Central ABL season, the top men's and women's teams in SA will again compete in the preseason tournament.

The Blitz offers a fast paced style of basketball with all games having 8 minute fully timed quarters.
Competing teams will be able to try out new offensive and defensive plays, integrate new players, check out the competition and develop their game strategies.
Off the court the Blitz provides a unique opportunity for senior SA players and coaches to meet, renew friendships and enjoy watching other games.
Umpires and officials benefit from the game time in preparing for the upcoming season.
The tournament will showcase the elite men's and women's teams from South Australian clubs competing in the 2007 Central ABL. A total of 12 teams and 180 players and support staff will participate over the 2 days at STARplex.
Grahame Mansfield, Chairman of the organising committee says "The Blitz is a great spectator event. Where else can you see the top district basketball teams in South Australia competing at the one venue over 2 days?"
Spectator Entry is $10.00 and children in basketball club uniform can enter free. A BBQ and Bar will operate throughout the tournament.
The objective of the Blitz is to launch the 2007 season and provide teams with a lead in to the main season which commences on March 17th. The tournament is being hosted by three district basketball clubs - Central Districts, North Adelaide and Woodville.
