“We’re really wanting to make it a family-friendly day so everyone will be able to bring their kids along and watch some great games of basketball across the day \u2026 it’s all about making it a fun day at the basketball,” Surfcoast Basketball Association president Leon Sayers said.<\/p>\n
The action starts at 1:30pm before concluding with the senior men’s game at 7:30pm.<\/p>\n

The youth men, under new coach Greg Smith, will take on their third season in the newly-created division three this season after playing in division two last year.<\/p>\n
