Registration now open for Spring BAM Jam

Registration for the 5th Annual Spring BAM Jam is now open. The tournament will be held on March 22-23, 2014 in Boise, Idaho at the Borah Sports Complex. There are divisions for men, women, boys and girls with both competitive and recreational divisions for adults and an Elite Division for Men's 6'0 and Over and 6'0 and Under. Click here to learn more about the spring tournament, bracketing, etc.

Teams are placed in brackets based on their grade level and adult brackets are further separated by the competition level, age and experience that each team has. It is a process that has proven to create competitive but fair games for the majority of teams.

The tournament is hosted by Idaho Select Basketball. It is recommended that teams sign up early as the tournament has sold out the last four years.

If you are interested in getting involved with the tournament, but as a sponsor, volunteer or spectator you have options. For sponsorship information contact Clint Hordemann at clint@idahoselect.org. For volunteer information click here. Spectators are welcome to attend and can simply pay at the door.

BAM Jam, a Boise Icon?

How do you define an icon? Is it an image that defines a moment? Or a picture that will last forever?

The Idaho Statesman is asking their readers what icons define Boise as the city turns 150. Their goal is to identify the top 150 Boise icons. Here is a link to the article.

The bold question from our end - has BAM Jam become an icon of Boise? This spring will mark the fourth year of the indoor 3 on 3 tournament while this summer will be the sixth outdoor tournament, the biggest 3 on 3 tournament in the state. Ten tournaments that bring in a combined 500 teams, 2,000 participants and over 10,000 spectators.
Traditionally speaking, icons are established over decades of time. But what about an event that embraces other icons and welcomes anyone to be a part of it? With the Capitol Building, Capitol Park and Old Boise as a backdrop and room for everyone including men, women and children with the best to the worst of abilities, that seems to put BAM Jam in the mix, right?

In reality, we know BAM Jam is not at the top of most people's list. But is it top 150 worthy? You can let the Statesman know by sending an email to Anna Webb at awebb@idahostatesman.com or by mailing them your thoughts to The Idaho Statesman, 2100 N. Curtis Road, Boise ID 83706. Just include your name and contact info.

Whether you believe that BAM Jam is or is not a Boise icon, the tournament will be returning to the Borah Sports Complex on March 23-24, 2013. Registration opens soon. This is a great time to start thinking about who you want on your team!
