In light of the COVID-19 restrictions, we are still waiting to make a final determination regarding HoopJam 2020. We are exploring alternate options for the event, but will wait until we get a little closer to mid-July to make a final decision. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Hoop Jam, a 3-on-3 street basketball tournament in Albany, Oregon. Hoop Jam is a great way to focus on youth, community building, and character development through an athletic venue. We anticipate over 3,000 players and families will be enjoying all that Albany has to offer during Hoop Jam. As is true for all of the Boys & Girls Club of Albany’s events and programs, the youth are the true benefactors. 

There have been a few changes made to the rules for Hoop Jam 2019 and we want to make sure you are aware of them prior to the tournament.

1. Players may only participate on one Hoop Jam team. Teams may not add additional players from any other team in the current Hoop Jam tournament.

2. In overtime, the first team to score 3 points wins.

3. Fouls (excluding offensive fouls) result in 1 free throw, except on successful field goals, in which case the basket counts and no free throw is awarded.

4.During the last 2 minutes of the game all fouls are 2 shots and possession changes. If the foul is on a shot attempt a standard "and one" scenario will be in play.

5. Timeout with free throws- clock does not start until free throws are done/change of possession.

Duplicate team names will not be accepted in the registration system. If your desired team name has already been registered by another team, you will have to select a different name. The Boys & Girls Club of Albany/Hoop Jam reserves the right to reject any name deemed to be inappropriate. Team names that have been rejected will be replaced by the listed coach's last name. (For example, if a team name has been rejected and the coach's name is Dave Miller, the new team name will default to Team Miller.)
