After taking a few years off due to Covid, the Castle Challenge is back and scheduled to take place June 23-25, 2023 at Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn. The tournament will be open to Boys and Girls teams 14U-Varsity level.

Castle Athletics President Brian Rosen said “we wanted to get back to what we did pre-Covid and this event is a great opportunity to showcase talent from NYC and beyond and Kingsborough. It is the Summer and the venue is on the beach and near Coney Island Amusement Park. It is a super spot for teams to play basketball and enjoy the scenery and event. We are hoping that many programs see the chance to have a great time and experience great competition.”

Castle Athletics has scheduled tryouts for its 2022-2023 Middle School Girls teams for this weekend. Middle School Coordinator Anwar Gladden said that “with our schedule and the desire to get our student athletes in the gym as early as possible for training and practices, we felt there was no need to wait for the school year to get underway. We anticipate practicing and training several days a week to get ready for the Fall and Winter seasons. They are competitive schedules and our student athletes will be ready for the competition.”

Last year, the Girls Middle School teams played at the highest level and traveled to compete in the best tournaments. Over the Summer, they were in Indiana, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania and even showed their strengths on the courts of NYC. To be a part of it, check out the scheduled tryouts and play your best!!!
