Seattle, Portland players invited to 3 on 3 basketball tournament

Fast Eddy's BAM Jam 3 on 3 basketball tournament is happy to invite basketball players from the Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon areas! Idaho's biggest 3 on 3 basketball tournament has had great representation from both the Seattle and Portland cities and encourages players of all ages and abilities to participate in this year's 3 on 3 basketball tournament on August 9-10, 2014 on the streets of Boise, Idaho.

Welcome Portland 3 on 3
basketball players!
BAM Jam is not only the biggest 3 on 3 basketball tournament in Idaho, it is the biggest street ball party in the Northwest. With over 300 teams and over 1,200 players heading to downtown Boise, BAM Jam has shown that its growth over the last seven years is no accident. Teams that travel in from Portland and Seattle are treated to an incredible weekend in one of the nicest "still to be discovered" cities in the northwest.

Comparing Seattle, Portland to Boise

By comparison, Boise is smaller than the Seattle and Portland populations (approximately 616,000 people live in the metro area) but still has a lot of the amenities you would find in a larger city. The tournament is third biggest 3 on 3 basketball tournament in the northwest and continues to grow each year. 

To learn more about the great city of Boise and what it has to offer, the boise.org website is an excellent resource. Or you can just watch this YouTube video that gives you a great 2 minute overview.

The BAM Jam experience

Will a Seattle 3 on 3 basketball
team take home the 2014
BAM Jam Championship?
August in Boise is the perfect time for an outdoor 3 on 3 basketball tournament because the weather is warm and dry. The streets of downtown Boise provide the perfect location, with trees lining the sidewalks and Capitol Park located right next to the tournament.

Old Boise provides plenty of entertainment and food options between games if you want to leave the event area for awhile. Or stick around and enjoy the great eats provided by our food vendors. Street parking is free so spend the whole weekend downtown.

Saturday night is time for the official BAM Jam after party, definitely something the 20 and 30 somethings are always sure to attend. 

Did you know that there is a Slam Dunk and 3-Point contest held on the steps of the state's Capitol Building? It is also located right next to the tournament.
