The tournament will have the mixed senior and 40-under divisions with games scheduled every Sunday.

The league is also giving young ballers a chance to strut their wares by putting up the mini-midget and midget/juniors divisions.

“More than just a league, Nevermind Basketball Club aims to promote discipline, camaraderie, sportsmanship, and community pride through the love of basketball,” the league said in a statement.
