Dolphin Classic
The 4-on-4 Dolphin Basketball Classic originated in the summer of 1986, over the past years becoming one of the premier outdoor basketball tournaments on the west coast. Originally the tournament was organized to cater to only Richmond’s top high school players but as the years went on the tournament took a life of it’s own and quickly became a true North American hoop-fest. The Dolphin Classic now enters its 35th year hosted once again at the South Arm Community Centre. As Dolphin continues to expand we must not forget the roots of the tournament and what it truly represents: family, friends and basketball.
BBall Nationals
BBALLNATIONALS, formerly NCBC, was developed back in 2016 by an experienced team of elite coaches and administrators—all with one common goal; to improve the existing model for club basketball in Canada. With the generous support of the Langley Events Centre, BBALLNATIONALS has grown rapidly over the years, hosting 180+ boys and girls teams in the summer of 2022.
