Peninsula HomeCourt Tournament

PENINSULA HOMECOURT TOURNAMENT

Southern Peninsula Basketball Association (SPBA) are proud to announce a joint partnership effort with neighbouring associations; Mornington Breakers (MDBA), Frankston Blues (FDBA) and Western Port Steelers (WPA) to form the Peninsula HomeCourt Tournament.

Starting this Friday, April 10th, each club’s VJBL players will be set challenges, competing against a different club each Friday afternoon via the NBA’s HomeCourt app;

HomeCourt uses just your iPhone or iPad to capture and analyse how you play, from your shots, to your dribbling, to your movements.

The tournament only has a few simple rules:

  1. All challenges will be run via the HomeCourt App on Friday afternoons 12:00pm to 6:00pm. The challenge won’t be communicated until 12:00pm on the day of competition.
  2. To enter a submission players must be wearing their full VJBL playing uniform.
  3. Each club will take on a different club each week.
  4. Each club vs. club challenge will have 1 point up for grabs.  The winning club will be the club with the highest individual score on the challenge leaderboard.
  5. At the end of the tournament the club with the most points wins. If there is a tie, an extra tie-breaker challenge will be set on Sunday 26th April 12:00 pm to 6:00pm
  6. Challenges, scores and winners will be communicated via each club’s social media platforms.

SPBA Director Of Coaching, Lucas Allen, spoke about the Tournament

“The HomeCourt app has been a great source of engagement for junior members and in particular our Junior Sharks players during the Coronavirus lockdown”

“Our Junior Sharks have regularly been completing drills and challenges, competing amongst themselves and against our Senior Sharks players”

“Other associations have also employed the use of HomeCourt with great results and we have now partnered to create a Club vs. Club Tournament which will provide a further competitive outlet for our players”

“We’re extremely excited and we’re sure our Junior Sharks players will enjoy the challenge!”
