The 2013 Nor Cal Spring Tip Off is fast approaching

The 2013 Nor Cal Spring Tip Off is being held Saturday, March 30 at City College of San Francisco. The matchups will involve 40 teams, runs from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and opens the spring club team season prior to the live recruiting period events.

The purpose of the event is to kick off the spring AAU season and give teams a chance for some game experience prior to heading into the live period events in mid-April. There are teams from age groups 15u, 16u and 17u matched competitively in a shootout format (not a tournament). 

Hoop review.net will be doing a report on the event which will be sent to college coaches and various internet sites in order to give the participating teams some exposure before the live events begin.
