BLACK CLUB SPRING SUMMER NEWSLETTER #7 | Friday JUNE 2nd 2023

June is Here!

With June officially being underway we are approaching the end of this EPIC Spring Summer Season. Even though we’ve seen a lot of growth throughout the season, there are still a few more weekends of business to take care of. I hope you and your athlete are up for the final push!

Upcoming tournaments

We have two remaining tournaments to cap off all our hard work

  • June 10th - 11th: Battle in the bay

    -This is a 2-Day 3 game minimum 4BallersOnly event. It will have some of the highest competition we’ve played locally all year. I opted on the side of “playing up” to make sure we are plenty prepped to go down to SoCal and battle with the best of them!

    -We are hoping this tournament will lock down Open Gym Premier as their main venue but if not it will be in other Oakland Gyms

  • June 16th - 18th: Aces - Coca cola nationals

    -This is our final competitive tournament on a national stage. The culmination of the season!
    -All info for this weekend can be found here: teamesface.com/socal . A family Itinerary has just been added!

Memorial Weekend…

last weekend a few of our select Black Club Teams participated in the G365 Memorial Day Challenge to see how they matched up against some of the bay area’s finest.

All in all, we came out of the tournament playing some of the highest-quality basketball we’ve seen all season, including a few ALL - TOURNAMENT SELECTIONS. CONGRATULATIONS TO…

  • Mason Veinstein - 4th Grade GOERS

  • Ethan Tom - 5th Grade GOERS

  • Ben Zohar - 7th Grade GOERS

At the end of the weekend, we went 12-3 as an academy with the 7th Grade Goers taking home some hardware!
