The Rollers Basketball Club is holding its April Fool’s 5-on-5 Basketball Tournament starting on April 27 at the Garapan Basketball Court. Games will run from 4:30pm through 9pm.
This is a all-out, full court double-elimination tournament played under two 16-minute halves. The competition will be split into two divisions—U18 and U25—and the entrance fee is $50 per team.
There are already four U18 teams expected to suit up and five U25 squads with slots still available. Trophies will be awarded to the Top 2 teams of each division.
In addition to promoting a healthy proactive lifestyle, the tournament also serves as good practice for some upcoming basketball competitions.
Notably, RBC’s U18 Saipan 1 (U25) and Saipan 2 (U18) teams will be featured in next week’s caging.
The teams are gearing up for its appearance in the upcoming Micronesian Basketball Tournament, scheduled for May 21.
In addition, proceeds raised from next week’s event will go toward RBC’s U14 squads trip to Manila, Philippines where they will appear in the Pacific Rim Manila Goodwill Tournament this coming July
Although they are on the greener end of the lower division, some of these players may be seen competing in the U18 division as well.
The RBC is still looking for potential banner sponsors who would like to offer their support.
