Players who want to compete in the upcoming 3-on-3 basketball tournament have one extra day to get registered.
The deadline for the 11th annual Taylor Press 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament has been extended by 24 hours. Teams have until Thursday, July 11 at 5 p.m. to sign up.
Teams can be made up of three or four players and are sorted by age groups. The leagues are divided into 11-14 year-olds, 15-17 year-olds and anybody over the age of 18 for both men and women classifications.
Anyone who has played at the varsity level will play in the 18 and older division.
It costs $50 per team to register, which can be paid in advance or at arrival.
Entered teams will play a handful of exhibition games the first day and are guaranteed to play in the playoff bracket the following day.
Prizes include championship rings and vacation destinations for winners, as well as other items. The raffle will include WNBA tickets, a Playstation 5, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, a drone with cameras, Splashway tickets and more.
The Shining Stars are the tournament’s co-sponsor. They are a local nonprofit for adults with special needs and will return to operate the concession stand, as well as take to the court once more for a championship series of games.
The Shining Stars game is important because it provides an opportunity for adults with special needs to be looked at for more than just their disabilities or limitations, according to organizers.
Tournament registration forms are available at the Taylor Press, 211 W. Third St., and the Taylor Press 3-on-3 Facebook page.
