Top spring teams to get free entry in to USA tournament

This spring, Fast Eddy's BAM Jam's top teams will be playing for a little more than just the championship packages. Thanks to our partnership with USA Basketball, teams in the Men's 6'0 and Over Elite, Women's Competitive, Boys Oldest HS and Girls Oldest HS brackets will qualify for the USA Basketball National Championships in May.

USA Basketball, the same organization that brings together LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and Kevin Durant, has been making a push with FIBA to help 3x3 become an Olympic Sport. Their goal is to find the best 3x3 team in the country for all four divisions and let them compete against the best players in the world. 

This is your chance to represent your country and compete for a gold medal!

Best Team Name Of All Time? You Decide!

This March 22-23 we will be hosting the 5th Annual Fast Eddy's Spring BAM Jam. Over the years the spring tourney has built a strong following, evolved in its format and provided fun for a variety of teams.

It has also provided a variety of team names that are creative and unique. Trendy, a play on words or just flat out descriptive of the team, the names are fair play as long as they are 20 letters or less (and are more or less family friendly).

Here is your chance to vote for your favorite team name that we've seen over the last four spring tournaments. The list started at over 500 and was narrowed down to 50. From there the BAM Jam staff selected their favorite 5. And now it is up to you to narrow it down to 1. Poll closes January 31.

Let us know what you think. And then try and come up with something better for your team this year. But don't delay...the spring tournament sells out every year and when the spaces are gone the registration will close.
