Great new league in SA

[maximus23]

If anyone is looking to get into a really cool and different type of league, check out g-hoops.com. They still have team spots open for the first season. It's a year round league and it seems like it will be something much more organized than any of the other leagues i've played in town.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Sounds cool.

[boutons_]

I called the contact number this afternoon.

They have 7 teams now with 7 - 10 players.

They will have 2 trained referees per game.

They are holding up starting their first games until they get 12 teams. They hope to start playing in Oct or Nov

They have no intention of anything but amateurism, getting some exercise, and having basketball fun but in the spirit of formal teams with uniforms.

I look forward to seeing the games and how it works out. If 2-million-people SA can't provide the less than 100 players to get the league going, it will be pretty sad.

One thing I didn't understand was this ...


What is G-Hoops?
G-Hoops is a 5 on 5 year round Basketball League open to anyone over the age of 18 who wants to play competitive basketball in a fun and professional environment.

Why is G-Hoops different?
G-Hoops is different than other leagues because G-Hoops runs all year round. Most city leagues run for a few weeks and then you must wait until the next league starts the following year. Also, G-Hoops prides itself on giving players the feeling of playing in a Professional League. We achieve this by requiring the players to wear top of the line uniforms and by keeping track of statistics. Teams will also be competing for the coveted G-Hoops Championship Trophies.

How much does it cost to play with G-Hoops?
If you are an individual who wants to play it costs $75 to register for an 8 week season plus the uniform fee. If you are a team (min 5 players, max 10), the registration fee is $500 plus uniform fees for each team member.



So it runs year run but seasons are only 8-weeks? $500 plus uniforms is a lot for a team for an 8-week season.

500 bucks.

Ouch.

Thats almost as bad as Anicra park's teamfee, plus fee for every game.

[maximus23]

The uniform fee is a 1 time fee. And if you compare it to other leagues it's pretty reasonable...especially since you're getting a jersey and shorts, stats, 2 refs per game...it seems like you are getting what you pay for. I know i'm excited to see what it's all about. It sounds like something different and built around basketball lovers.

$500 per team is still a lot. A lot of people here play in the city leagues in the summer which I think are 10 weeks and it's less money than that.

[BBALLER911]

I don't think thats expensive...it looks like something really cool. it seems like you get much more than in a city league...city leagues are always unorganized.

:lol You didn't have to start a second user name just to prop your league.

City league is pretty damn organized. This one is probably good too. I'm just saying that it's more expensive and less weeks than city league.

[BBALLER911]

I am just playing in it. I want to get the word out because it won't start until all the team spots are filled.

And btw I didn't start a second user name. But you are close. ;)

Well if not you, someone using your computer or in your house.

Anyway, it seems like a decent league. But don't advertise it like a bargain because it isn't.

[SequSpur]

i can play for free on my neighborhood court. 500 is insane.

I'm sorry it is expensive. How much is the "one" time fee and do you keep the uni's? In the city leagues you just buy your own uni's and its organized with score keepers and two refs.

The city charges 345 per team, plus 10 per player for 10 games and sometimes playoffs. In a team with 10 thats only 45 for 10 games.

Their uniforms are $40 each if you play in the first 8 week season, but will go up to $65 each if you don't sign up til one of the later seasons. You keep the uniforms though but that's still pretty expensive. I think you can get customized jerseys for like $20 on your own.

You are right, it's no different than playing in city league really, other than being a tad more expensive. This one is $500 per team plus uniforms, city league is $445 per team plus uniforms (if you have 10 players). Both have officials, scoring, etc.

[ORION]

I got turned down because they said I wasn't a "G"

[gospursgojas]

Does anyone here actually play in a league???

B/C I want to get in on one, and I need to know how

[BBALLER911]

go to www.g-hoops.com...it will give you all the info you need.

[gospursgojas]

go to www.g-hoops.com...it will give you all the info you need.

yeah it looks cool, but 5 bills is alot for 8 games

Anyone else know of when city leagues start up?

[BruceBowenFan]

I think they have a winter league that starts in November (registration in October) but I'm not sure, you'd have to call.

:lol I was thinking the same thing. I could care less if I'm wearing a uni or if the game is regulated. 5 bills is a lot for 8 games, too much to play a game that I can go play at the local park for free.

[gospursgojas]

Just got off the phone with the guys at g-hoops and they've decided to take "our" advice and knock the price down.

Team Fee is now 399
and unis are free

Now that's a good deal. That's cheaper than city league. :tu

[boutons_]

G-hoops is trying to find a gym more central than way out in boondocks, which of course is a cost consideration.

$399 offer expires next week

http://www.g-hoops.com/Season%201%20Discount.html

[gospursgojas]

Babcock and Huebner is not the boondocks...like 2 mins from the medical center.

So anyone here interested in teaming up???

[Kori Ellis]

Note: It's $399 plus tax. It seems like a weird thing to add tax.

[Behrooz24]

They're going Stern and trying to rake in the $$$$$$

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

They're going Stern and trying to rake in the $$$$$$

Isn't that the point of a business?

[PM5K]

Tempting. Can I be player/coach?

If you get a team of ten, who decides who gets to play and for how long, and who starts?

[gospursgojas]

Im looking for a team of 6 or 7 only...

I already have 3... maybe 4

[BBALLER911]

usually the guy who coordinates getting all his friends on the team is the team captain but that doesn't neccessarily mean they are the "coach".

[sa_butta]

[gospursgojas]

I could play.

Could you really???

Me and the 3 other on my squad were going to just sign up by ourselves, but if you can come up with your part of the fee, you can run with us
