TOURNAMENT mania will grip Dandenong for the next few months as basketballers from across the country descend on the Stud Road stadium.
Dandenong Basketball Stadium, accommodating 15 FIBA-accredited basketball courts, will take the hosting rights for the 2015 BIG V Pre-Season Tournament as well as two major junior tournaments.
Shifting from Frankston Basketball Stadium – which is currently undergoing a $13 million renovation – Dandenong will be the basketball tournament capital of Australia for the next few months.
Approaching its 25th birthday next year, the stadium is going from strength-to-strength as it also hosts the Under-20 and Ivor Burge National Championships from 22 to 28 February as well as its usual WNBL, SEABL and VJBL fixtures and the annual Dandenong-Eltham Basketball Tournament this week from 23-26 January.
Closing date for Big V Pre-Season tournament entries is at 5pm on Friday 6 February. For more information on the tournament, visit the BIG V website www.bigv.com.au.
