Registration is officially closed.  Kronies Jamfest has gone from zero to 18 teams in a matter of weeks, making it the largest league in Buffalo and Western New York.  I encourage all participants to invite their family and friends to the games on Sunday, the Jamfest kickoff is going to be a lot of fun.  The first week schedule will be posted by midday on Wednesday.  In addition to the teams already listed we would like to welcome the following teams to Kronies Jamfest:

R.I.P. Ent

Shining Force

Chippewa

Team Wagner

Get those jump shots ready, only four days until Kronies Jamfest begins.

The response to Kronies Jamfest has been remarkable.  With less than a week left until tipoff there are close to 14-16 teams registered.  We may have a spot for one additional team.  If you are still sitting on the fence, I urge you to take action immediately.  Please contact me before registering at chasdk@healthybuffalo.org to make sure there is still a spot available.  In the meantime, I would like to welcome the following teams:

Flint Tropics, NF Boys, Billies, KW Appliances, The Seven-One-Sixers, Norfolk ‘N’ Chance, Fusion, That’s How We Do Work, Healthy Buffalo 1, Healthy Buffalo 2, Malone’s, Elmwood Village Cut & Shave, Hutch’s, and Practical Modern Basketball.

Let the games begin.

There are now only fifteen days until tipoff.  These last couple weeks have been a whirlwind.  Every day new players and new teams are coming aboard and preparing themselves for Kronies Jamfest.  This past week, in addition to Kronies, VitaCoco, and Kevin’s Catering, SJP Federal Credit Union stepped up with a big sponsorship.  A few more big ones are in the works as well.

The jerseys have now officially been ordered.  The jersey for Kronies Jamfest will be a white and royal blue mesh tank, numbered and screen printed on both sides.  To my knowledge, no other league in the area offers such a fine garment.

Pete Hernandez has been designated the head referee and is in charge of putting together the staff each Sunday.  Pete has an excellent reputation in the WNY basketball community and is certain to be an asset to the Association.

For those ballers out there still sitting on the fence, I have just one thing to say:  Once Jamfest begins, I promise you, you won’t want to be on the outside looking in.  It all begins February 27^th.  Register today.

The BSWA is currently working on mapping out the best trails, paths, and routes around Buffalo and WNY for cycling, running, walking or whatever else your choice of activity might be. The first one to be unveiled will be Delaware Park and Hoyt Lake, my personal favorite. Please let us know what your favorite routes are around town and the BSWA staff will map it out on Google maps, take the plunge and post an accompanying review complete with photos, distance and other thoughts on the route. Send all routes to contact@healthybuffalo.org and stay posted to healthybuffalo.org for the unveiling of your favorite route.
