Spring Showdown

Hi Coaches and Team Managers,

We’re excited to welcome you to the Spring Showdown 2025, hosted by Etobicoke Basketball and taking place April 11–13, 2025, at Michael Power Collegiate Institute.

As we count down the final week, please ensure you've downloaded the Etobicoke Basketball app—it's your central hub for all tournament information.

📱 About the Etobicoke Basketball App
It’s a free download from the Apple and Android stores and includes:

*Game schedules and locations
*Live scores and standings
*Score sheets and playoff brackets
*Direct links to venue maps and directions

Now, here are a few more key details to help you and your teams prepare:

📍 Venue Details
All games will be held at Michael Power CI (105 Eringate Dr., Etobicoke, ON). If this is your first time at this gym, please arrive early to ensure you find your way in, change players, and are ready for warm-ups at your scheduled time.

🗓️ Schedule & App Access
The tournament schedule is now live and accessible through the Etobicoke Basketball app. You can also view the full schedule directly in your browser at: 👉 https://basketball.exposureevents.com/233540/spring-showdown/schedule

Please ensure your contact email is linked to your team’s entry to receive real-time updates.

🎽 Uniform Guidelines
Teams listed as the home team will wear light colours and appear at the top of the match-up in the schedule. In case of a conflict, the away team must change.

All teams must bring home and away uniforms to every game. If your team only has one uniform colour, please let us know ASAP so we can adjust the schedule accordingly.

📝 Team Entry Review & Scoresheets
Pre-printed score sheets will be available at the scorer’s table and only require your signature post-game. Please take a moment to check the app now to confirm:

*Your team name and team logo
*Your player names and jersey numbers
*If anything needs to be updated, please notify us by EOD tomorrow, Monday, March 7th, so that we can correct it before printing.

🏀 Game Day Reminders

*Teams must provide their warm-up basketballs
*Bring your basic first-aid supplies
*Score sheets will be provided at the scorer’s table
*Please keep gyms clean and be respectful of school property

🎥 BallerTV Coverage
We’re pleased to share that BallerTV will cover Spring Showdown 2025, offering live streaming of all games throughout the weekend. This service is an excellent way for family and friends who can’t attend in person to follow the action in real time.

But it’s more than just a viewing tool—game footage will remain available as video-on-demand (VOD), making it an excellent resource for post-event coaching and team review. The direct links to game broadcasts are within the schedule section of the Etobicoke Basketball app.

🎟️ Entry Fee
There will be a spectator fee of $10/day or $15 for a weekend pass (kids under 12 are free). Coaches and players are exempt. Please communicate that with your team's parents. Exact change is appreciated; e-transfer is also accepted at jaypea69@gmail.com. We will also post signage with this information at the event.

We’ll contact you next week with any last-minute notes. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

We look forward to seeing you on the court!

All the best,
