“Seeing a hopeful’s excitement when informed they may actually have what it takes, is an incredible feeling,” said Joey. With the 94Fifty smart-sensor basketball, testing is precise and thorough—it’s a great assessment tool and what the Toronto Raptors use during their practices to help players refine their skills. The ball don’t lie,” Joey added.
Of the anticipated 800 players and 1,500 attendees during the tournament’s two-day event, hundreds of individuals will be clamouring to test their skills to see if they have what it takes to go pro. The player with the highest overall combined 94Fifty test score will win a smart-sensor basketball (valued at $295). The cost of the combined testing, which includes shooting and ball-handling, is $20.00. Individual skill tests are also available at $2.00, but do not qualify for the 94Fifty win.
“This event marks the 25th Anniversary Season of Hoop It Up, which is coming to nine cities across North America and Winnipeg is the only Canadian stop on the tour,” said Adam Wedlake, Executive Director of Basketball Manitoba. “Most people don’t know the level of real basketball talent in this province and this new basketball technology is one way of showcasing that skill and finding our next all-star players,” he added.More information about the 3-on-3 tournament can be found here.
