LOCAL ORGANIZATION TO SPONSOR COMMUNITY BASKETBALL EVENT
Three-on-Three Tournament Scheduled for Saturday, April 28
LOGAN, Utah— An on-campus wellness group is organizing a fun, competitive, active basketball tournament for interested participants this spring.
Student Health Services (SHS) displayed enthusiasm for the upcoming activity titled Summer Break Shootout. “An event like this fits in well with our mission of wellness and an active lifestyle,” said Director of Health and Wellness Jim Davis.
This is not the first basketball related activity SHS has been involved with. According to Prevention Specialist Ryan Barfuss, having SHS completely on board will promote wellness in the community.
“Our goal is to provide a fun, competitive, exciting opportunity for any individual 18 or older to participate in a health-conscious, active event,” Barfuss said.
All teams are guaranteed at least three round-robin seeding games, and an entrance to a single elimination tournament where a champion will be crowned. In a round-robin, teams are separated into smaller divisions, and compete against each team in their respective pool. Rosters may have anywhere from three to five players. The event is not limited to USU students; any interested person may compete. Games will be played to 15 by “1’s and 2’s,” with the offensive players calling fouls.
Tournaments of the past have created excitement all involved. “It’s fast-paced, jam-packed action for both the athlete and the fan,” former participant Steve Pontius said.
Teams can register in a variety of ways. In person sign-ups take place in the TSC (located on USU campus) from Apr. 18-20, 8 a.m-4 p.m. Captains may also call or text Ryan at 806-433-7769 to secure a spot. For the technical saavy, individuals may email their team name and contact information to logan_hoops@hotmail.com
A registration fee of $35 will be charged to compete. There will be no admission price for parents, siblings and fans, at the same time concessions will be offered to raise money. All proceeds go towards the promotion and awareness of an active lifestyle, healthy living, and being well.
The Student Health Center provides a convenient and cost-effective resource for health care for students at Utah State University. A staff of physicians and advanced-level providers (FNP and PA) is supported by a well-trained staff of nurses, pharmacists, a laboratory technologist, and a health educator to provide care for day-to-day illness, first aid, and to monitor and provide care for more chronic illness, should the need arise. Additionally, the Health Center has responsibility for administering the Student Health Insurance Policy.
