AFTER a year off from tournaments, junior players from the Hamilton Basketball Association (HBA) will pull on their Hamilton Hurricanes gear and step back on the court next weekend for an action-packed two days of competitive basketball against hundreds of other kids.

The tournament will be contested on December 11 and 12 with games to be played at the Hamilton Indoor Leisure and Aquatic Centre (HILAC), The Hamilton and Alexandra College (THAC) and Monivae College stadiums.
