Garden State Basketball Tournaments/Leagues

Garden State Basketball Tournaments are the best in New Jersey. March Madness, the Spring Slamfest Grand Slam, the Fall Slamfest and Santa Slam are well attended and growing in participation every year. These events are open to boys and girls teams, ages 10 through 17. Participants include AAU, school, travel, CYO, PAL, YMCA and many other teams. The venues are always first class facilities and include many New Jersey Colleges such as Fairleigh Dickinson University, Montclair State University and Kean University amongst many others.

Over 5,000 boys and girls teams have participated in our tournament events since 2000. To further demonstrate their popularity, our events have welcomed teams from New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, North Carolina and Canada.

Due to the increasing popularity and team attendance at these events, there has been an increased interest and attendance shown by college recruiting services and college coaches and scouts. This has helped many players to be noticed and identified and helped them on to their college careers.
