We are excited to host what is known as the largest Minor Basketball Tournament for both boys and girls in the entire country. For five days, close to 1,200 players, ages 8-17 years old, from over 90 teams from around the Maritimes will be participating in this highly competitive tournament.
Since its inception in 1989, the Bedford Classic has welcomed players of all ages and provided an opportunity to compete against teams of similar ability. We will engage over 15 different facilities, 250 volunteers, 230 coaches, 74 officials and 4000 parents/spectators for this event over the five-day tournament.
Bedford Minor Basketball Association is one of the largest basketball clubs in the Province with 27 teams playing in the Halifax Metro Basketball Association. We are looking forward to hosting such a wonderful community based event once again this year.
We are able to put on this tournament at a very reasonable price because our parent volunteers do most of the work and we rely on the supportive businesses and organizations in the community to offset some of the costs of gym rentals, officials, trophies, and shirts etc.
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us in providing such a worthwhile event. The success of minor sport and community events rely on the generosity of the corporate sector.
We can acknowledge your support & generosity by listing your company’s name in our tournament program, all print material as well as the BMBA web page. I have included the Bedford Classic Sponsorship package for your information/consideration.
On behalf of the many young players, organizing committee, volunteers and parents we thank you in advance for your consideration and support.
