Ballers Network Open Run @ Nike Global Challenge
| August 6, 2008
This Friday marks the kickoff of the Nike Global Challenge, an eight-team, 12-game tournament in Portland, OR, featuring the top under-19 players from the United States, Canada, Serbia, Lithuania, Senegal, and Puerto Rico.
For the U.S. squad, the Nike Global Challenge marks the final installment of the Nike Skills Academy series - the 30 best players from camps hosted this summer by NBA athletes like LeBron James, Steve Nash and Paul Pierce.
To help celebrate the NGC this weekend, Ballers Network will be hosting it’s first ever open run this Saturday. If you think you can you run with the best, on August 9th from 11:30 to 1:30, Liberty High School will play host to the Baller’s Network Ultimate Open Run. This is your chance to mix it up with some of the best players around including elite pro, college and high school players from around the NW. While supplies last, all participants will receive a free t-shirt, poster and a ticket to Saturday’s games of the 2008 Nike Global Challenge so be sure to get there early. Players from the Global Challenge will be around signing autographs and hanging out. Invite all your friends and see if you can compete with the best! For more information please contact Paul Martin or Robert Kremers at 503-532-3208.
Sign up for the game through Ballers Network today. See you this weekend.
