The 9 Events

HURRICANES

DO ALL THINGS

Inaugural 2016 GAMES

The HurrICANes GAMES are a competitive test to find the most skilled basketball athletes.  The events are made up of a series of tests for athletes to display their basketball skill set and ability level.  The ICAN GAMES are designed to test fundamentals. The goal is to find and recognize the most skilled basketball athletes.
Each athlete who registers by March 24th, 9pm, will be able to compete in the ICAN GAMES. They will be tested on a combination of any groupings of these skill sets: free-throws, 3-point shooting, mid-range shooting, agility drills, speed, ball-handling, and passing, to name a few. The ICAN games will not be limited to these skill sets but will many be comprised of them!
