Bounce! Trampoline Sports will host Second Slam Dunk Basketball Team Challenge October 21

Bounce! in Valley Cottage will host the second Slam Dunk Basketball Team Challenge on Tuesday, October 21 from 7 -8pm.

Last May three high school teams competed for bragging rights and $150+ in the inaugural Bounce! Trampoline Sports Basketball Challenge and the five man team from Clarkstown South walked away with the prize money. Bounce! in Valley Cottage will host the second Slam Dunk Basketball Team Challenge on Tuesday, October 21 from 7 -8pm.

Referees from Bounce! will keep score, tracking the baskets that are made as well as the type of slam dunk style used. Each team will be given $1.00 for the successful dunks and the winning team will receive a $150 bonus. The cost is only $5.00 per team member to participate and teams should be made up of 3 – 10 members. Each team receives a total of 30 attempts at making a basket. The contest is open to both girls and boys ages 13 – 17 and mixed age and gender teams are welcome.

The contest will be held in the newest area of Bounce which houses two additional foam pit jumping areas and two slam dunk basketball lanes. Unlike regular basketball, the trampoline adds an exciting dimension so that even young kids can feel the excitement of slam dunking a basketball.
