Haris Tournament 2018 Line Ups & Schedule Released

The tournament line up and schedule for the 2018 Haris Memorial Tournament have been revealed for the event, which will run from 27-29 December at the Manchester Basketball Centre in Manchester.

‘Haris Select’ – essentially the England Under-16s – will be in attendance, and they will be joined by EABL academies Myerscough College (roster here) and Charnwood College, Kent Crusaders, Manchester Magic Under-18s, along with US prep school Blue Ridge School, Spain’s NovaSchool and CD Povoa of Portugal.

There will be a lot of British talent on display, including Deng Camp #1 ranked player Mate Okros, as Haris has cemented itself as the top junior showcase that takes place over the Christmas break.

“The Haris tournament is such a wonderful event,” Greater Manchester Community Basketball CEO Phil Gordos commented.

“It not only attracts top-quality teams from the UK, US and the rest of Europe, it also gives the basketball community in Manchester and beyond the chance to meet up and reminisce. I really appreciate the support the tournament gets and I hope it continues to be a key fixture in the junior basketball calendar.”

The eight teams will be split into two groups, with the two top progressing to the semi-finals.

Tickets for the 2018 event are £3 for day one, £4 for day two and £5 for day three. Alternatively, you can buy a £10 ticket that covers all three days. Call 0161 881 0090 for tickets.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
