Sudbury Five Planning Special Pre-Game Sunday

RELEASE FROM Sudbury Five Basketball

The Sudbury FIVE return to the UNDERGROUND Sunday, March 19th as they tip off against the London Lightning at 2pm.

This Sunday join the FIVE early for a day filled of family fun to cap-off the March Break with a special movie afternoon with the new state-of-the-art videoboard before the game beginning at 11:30am. Admission to the movie “Like Mike” is free with game ticket. Kids 10 and under receive admission for only $10 all season long.

Sunday the FIVE welcome the Spartans North Bay Basketball association to Sudbury to enjoy a day of FIVE basketball and to cheer on Nipissing University Lakers alumnus, Justin Shaver as well as 6’9” centre and North Bay resident Evan Harris. The FIVE also welcome all North Bay fans in attendance.

Sunday’s game is sponsored by the KUPP Centre Indoor Playground, Kids Ultimate Play and Party Centre who will be on hand with great prizes and giveaways. Visit their table on the court area for more information.
