The Arthur D. Healey Elementary School will host its first Skyline View 3-on-3 Co-ed Basketball Tournament Saturday, June 4, to benefit its fall trip to Nature’s Classroom. In case of severe rain, the tournament will be held Sunday, June 5.
There will be two separate tournaments -- an NCAA-style tournament for boys and girls in grades 4 to 8 and a high school/adult double-elimination tournament. The tournaments will be held on the outside courts behind the Healey School at 5 Meacham St. Refreshments will be for sale.
The children’s tournament is limited to the first 32 teams of up to four players, with one player being a substitute. The first game will start at 9 a.m. and the children’s tournament will end with a championship game at 11:30 a.m. Games will consist of two quarters, lasting approximately 25 minutes.
