9 great reasons to be a court monitor

Boise and the Treasure Valley are full of great people, givers really. They donate their time and efforts to make this one of the best communities in the nation. And with all of the great events that this area hosts, we are proud that so many of you have chosen to give back to BAM Jam as court monitors.

Why have so many decided to give back? Well, here are 9 reasons we've come up with that you might consider. We're always looking for great court monitors to be a part of the event. What do you think?

1. Every Court Monitor receives training prior to the event so they know what to expect and are prepared to have a great time!
2. Get BBQ Friday night
3. CM can get their coffee fix Saturday morning from Moxie Java
4. Pita Pit will provide you with lunch on Saturday
5. CM get the official BAM Jam Court Monitor shirts with the coveted "Court Monitor" emblazoned across the back
6. Receive a cool BAM Jam hat
7. All CM receive shorts from STADIA Clothing, the most stylish athletic ware anywhere
8. Each CM gets to take home their court's basketball
9. Build new friendships with the players that play on your court

And of course, underlying all of this is the fact that you would be helping out a cool community event, the Idaho Select Player's Fund and the Boys & Girls Club. More information on being a Court Monitor is available here.

Hoopfest continues to make BAM Jam better

We are back on the road, heading back to Boise from this weekend's Hoopfest. The BAM Jam Boise dotcom won their first game on Sunday but lost the next two games. The team finished third in their bracket.

The video above shows the Nike Center Court during one of our games. The popularity continues to grow. It is so big that the Spokesman-Review even dedicates an entire section of their paper to the event (click here to see it). 

The tournament always gives us new ideas to integrate in to BAM Jam each year. Whether it is the Center Court amenities or how they run their half court shootout, Hoopfest continues to make BAM Jam the best tournament in Idaho.
