June 11th 2009 : Douai 2009 : let's go for another tournament

It's been a while that i did not updated my website (thanks to some changings in my life), but this year, Slammindouai.com is still there to
supply you photos and informations about one of the best junior BB tournament of the world.

So this year is the 23rd tounament edition, and as you say, world undergoes the economic crises; and unfortunately the basketball "world"
urdergoes it too. Some teams that we watched playing every year (mostly), have canceled their participation. The organisators made a great
job to launch a great quality tournament.

France, Australia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Lithuania and USA are the 6 teams that will compete this year. Some of them, prepares for the U-19
World Championship.

Unfortunately, i won't be at the tournament some days, but i will supply you the most complete informations i can get. Don't worry, tons of
photos and stats will be uploaded on the website.

You can find out the June 10th games gallery photo HERE
