So, this past weekend, We W.I.L.L. Thru Sports hosted a Halo-Ball Classic Basketball Tournament. Similarly, to our mini basketball camps; each participant who entered the park completed a Covid-19 checklist as well as had their temperature taken.

Halo-Ball Classic Basketball Tournament
In the first place, there were fourteen teams. Whereas kids ranged in age 12 – 17 and consisted of middle school and high school kids. Furthermore, this tournament was only for the male division. There were no girls this time, However, hopefully, the next tournament will be a girls event.
Due to there being a lot of rain recently; it was questionable if the game would be played. Ultimately, all the Coaches were hopeful to get this tournament played. So, the date was moved to October 19th and the tournament was all set.
Warm-up and the Fun Began
Meanwhile, once everyone checked in, both the coaches and players warmed up. Also, the coaches and players signed in as they do for every game. Now, the fun was ready to begin.
Because of the weather cooperating, the players were able to have a great day.
Nevertheless, all the teams came from the different New York City Burroughs. Moreover, everyone had a lot of fun but the goal was the same for everyone to enjoy playing basketball and win.
