Bay Area Basketball, Inc. is a local business that is committed to serving the youth in the Tampa Bay area. The purpose of our organization is to support the programs that assist children in households that are experiencing financial hardships. These programs provide the kids with the opportunity to participate in a basketball program where they will build a great work ethic and discipline. We believe that these programs will help the children achieve academic success and that is why we strive to support them. On June 28-30, 2013, we will be hosting our 2nd annual Bay Area Showdown which is a 5-on5 basketball tournament. A portion of the proceeds from this event will be used to support the Brandon Bolts, a local youth basketball program and P.A.L. (Police Athletics League). In our first year, we had the support of several NBA players that plan to be in attendance this year as well; Marreese Speights (Memphis Grizzlies), Dominique Jones (Dallas Mavericks), Stephen Graham (New Jersey Nets), Josh Selby (Memphis Grizzlies), and Joey Graham (Cleveland Cavaliers). We had an incredible turnout of 16 teams and averaged a daily attendance of 1,000. 550
