SPOKANE, Wash. — The world's largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament is returning to downtown Spokane for the 33rd year, and guaranteed registration for the tournament is almost closed.
Registration for the 2023 Hoopfest tournament opened in early March and the deadline to register and guarantee a team is May 15. According to Hoopfest, "after the guaranteed deadline, we will welcome your completed registration only on a space available basis through May 31, 2023."
The tournament will take place in downtown Spokane from June 24-25, 2023.
“We are very excited to have Hoopfest back on the streets of Spokane on the last weekend of June again," said Riley Stockton, Spokane Hoopfest Association's Executive Director. "We had such a great event last year and are excited to build our numbers back to what they were before."
For the first time this year, Hoopfest is opening the courts to kids going into first and second grade. With a growing number of kids interested in playing, Stockton said the Hoopfest team wants to make sure all kids have a chance to play in the tournament.
Stockton added Hoopfest is expected to return to pre-COVID levels of participation in 2023, hosting 5,000 to 6,000 teams.
The guaranteed deadline for registration is May 15, 2023. Teams can register based on available space between May 16-30 but will have to pay a $20 late fee to be granted entry.
