Big South Nationals @ University of West Florida

Good Morning

In 18 events this year we have had no issues such as last night.
It's unfortunate that we are even having to address any issue, on what was a great day of basketball except for one incident at the end of one game.

Both teams involved are banned and one of them is banned and will never be able to attend a Panhandle Basketball event again. We will also reach out and make sure our partners/Directors and let them know as well.

We want to remind you(Coaches, Spectators, Players), we have a ZERO tolerance policy on poor behavior, aggressive or physical conduct, belligerent behavior or any other conduct unbecoming a youth event. Our policy is clearly stated in the rules and coaches sign stating they understand.

That policy will be in FULL effect today. Please do not put yourself in a position to be removed from a game, gym or tournament. We don't want to have to do it, but we will absolutely, with no hesitation.

Panhandle Basketball prides itself on running great, fun, events with a great, safe environment!

Good Luck to all teams today!

Please look over the schedule, TNA Heat dropped on us last night at 1145PM. We had to combine pool C and B. The times are close to what they were before, but they may have changed slightly as well as the court.
