Some Great New & Old Holiday
Youth Tournaments--(November 5, 1997)

We just received some schedules for some great new (and some old) youth tournaments sponsored by the Southern California Youth Basketball Association held during the months of November and December. As if there wasn't enough going on already, what with the start of the NBA, college pre-season, high school pre-season and tip off tournaments, the younger ones also have their own tournaments, and some of these are better than the high school games. We want to thank Issy Washington of Slam-N-Jam for sending in the latest info. Many of these tournaments are already listed on our Tourneys Page; those that weren't before will be now.
