I hope your season finished well and you are looking forward to the rapidly-approaching provincial championships if your team is still alive and the upcoming Spring Break. I would like to direct your attention ahead several months to the beginning of the much-anticipated 2024-2025 high-school basketball season.
I would like to invite you to bring your junior boys basketball team to Victoria next season to attend one of the junior boys basketball tournaments which our organizing committee has organized. These tournaments will be hosted at a combination of Spectrum along with Lambrick Park and they annually attract many of the province’s top teams looking for a competitive start to the upcoming season and the restart after the Christmas holiday break. Vancouver Island annually has one of the deepest and most competitive zones in the province and next season will not be any exception. We hope you will want to test your team against this high level of competition. If your team is going to make one trip next season, let that trip be over to Vancouver Island!!
The information related to these tournaments is as follows:
DATES: Victoria Christmas Tipoff Junior Boys Tournament – November 29-30, 2024
- 12 teams, 2 openings remaining
-this date was selected because the season of play next season begins November 25
Island Challenge Junior Boys Tournament – January 10-11, 2025
- 8 teams, 4 openings remaining
-this date was selected as the Greater Victoria area school districts return to school after the Xmas holidays January 6, 2025
FORMAT: All teams guaranteed to play THREE games in each tournament.
All out-of-town teams will be able to catch the final ferry leaving Swartz Bay at 9:00 p. m.
AWARDS: Keeper trophies will be awarded for the top three placing teams with medals for the
first-place, second-place and third-place teams.
ACCOMMODATIONS: Tournament organizers will negotiate an excellent team rate for next season
with several local hotels located close to the downtown Victoria area for teams to
use. More information will be forwarded with the final draw material in the fall.
-Teams should also contact B. C. Ferries to make a school group reservation to
receive the 50% student fare discount if reservations are made more than one week in advance of your travelling date. We will also work to provide some meal price discounts at local restaurants for all travelling teams again next season.
If you anticipate having a strong team next season, we definitely hope you will be able to travel to Victoria to participate in one of these tournaments. We believe your team will enjoy the opportunity to travel to Victoria and you will definitely find excellent competition for your team.
I hope this brief intrusion does not interrupt your present school year. Please consider this letter an open invitation and I hope we will be able to meet during the next season at one of these tournaments. If we are able to help each other with scheduling, please contact me (H: 250-388-9807, EMAIL: westcott@shaw.ca) at your earliest convenience. Please leave your EMAIL ADDRESS so I can confirm your team’s participation in these events as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future regarding this invitation.
Yours in Basketball,
