For many young men, PCNAK Sports day is a highly anticipated event that allows them to showcase their athletic talent. I’ve made some observations as to what things are important to understand and have before playing.

 

1. Know Your Role

Not everyone can be an All-PCNAK player and in this often condensed tournament your superstars are often 15 points per game players. If you local tournaments have you scoring 20+ a game, its unlikely that’s going to happen here. PCNAK basketball is slow and grind it out kind of basketball, unless you are one of the few teams with strong perimeter defense that are able to get out on the break and score quickly.

 

2. Buy Bananas… or Coconut Water

Championships often end up being a showcase of which team can have less cramps. The volume and intensity of games requires you to have more than just water.

 

3. Bring a Video Camera

This is often difficult to logistically manage since no one really wants to pack or hold a decent video camera with good zoom. Having the ability to review your own tape and correct issues is infinitely valuable.

 

4. Nice Shoes

Lets be honest, for many young men PCNAK Sports Day is a showcase in style. Get some new kicks and toss that raggedy old pair of Marbury’s.
