if anyone would be****... not would is lol

This is the kind of thing the South Australian government needs to either develop the City Sk8 court for, or build an outdoor court near the beach at Glenelg. Great idea Ricey, definitely should get some interest

yea... i spoke last year to people at bay about putting courts there, but they said would need lots of interest from residents and others, and said they hadn't had any, as it is an elderly area to live in, as you can all imagine.
reason i said 2 on 2, is because we already have that And 1 rubbish here once a year, need something different and that has worked before. refer to oldschool dr pepper comp from way back. 3 on 3 is possible for future, i was just thinkin of having more teams and trying to make the tournament decent for first year, instead of having lots of teams with couple of decent teams. would want to make it something that people will come and actually watch. think of White Men Can't Jump, the tournament in that is what im thinking of.
possibly have previous knockout rounds a few weeks before to cut down on rounds to be played on the 'finals' weekend.
as i said, would depend on genuine interest from players, companies, government, and other people. if anyone is keen to help me out with this, or has some contacts that may be useful let me know. email is on first post.

Aaron, how bout hiring out Wayville or Trinity Church?

You can have it in my backyard. I'll even stoke up the BBQ and give the bath a clean to put the drinks in. The new Basketball ring needs a good workout.

Seriously tho, I'd love to see something like that. I'd probably pass on competing but would love to be involved somehow. If the ball starts rolling and ya need a hand, sing out.

Sounds like a great idea,I know plenty of guys who would love to get involved in this type of thing.Its also a great chance to get basketball into the public eye.There could even be like a few div's so that people who just want to have fun can do so without looking stupid

yea trinity and wayville are good ideas with one big problem... exposure. If held at brighton high outdoor courts or bay or something, then i would be able to offer great spot for a bussiness to be seen. With banners and what not. Means i can get better financial aid from them. I'm going to go speak to council members at glenelg about helping out and what their thoughts are on the whole idea, hopefully sometime in next 2 weeks.

yeah 3 on 3 down the bay would be pretty sweet

great idea ricey, i know that if it does happen ill be getting a mate to play in ikt and i might be able to find a couple of businesses to help u out with it. finally something helpful comes off hoops ( no offense to the posters who r on here evryday who do say useful stuff).

Another idea for location is the outdoor courts in the south parklands, coming into the city on Glen Osmond Road. They're next to a playground, if people don't know where I mean. They are in alright condition, but rarely seem to get used, probably because parking is a bit difficult sometimes. Would be great exposure for advertising signage etc, because it's one of the major roads into the city from the Eastern suburbs.

sweet idea there 3... you know how many rings or courts r there? would be good to have atleast 6 half courts... and room for spectators, like a lil stand of something.

Ricey mate,You are on to something here mate,I think this is one of the best ideas i have heard for a while,this is a great chance for exposure for our great game and is a chance for all ages and level of talent to get involved.
