March Madness comes to Evanston with two weekends of basketball competition for students in Grades 4-8.

Boys and girls can show off their prowess at the annual March Madness 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament on Friday and Saturday, March 20-21 and 27-28, at the Chandler-Newberger Center, 1028 Central St.

Once again this year, the tournament has been expanded to two weekends so that more teams can compete.

This double-elimination tournament is a great way for youth to test their skills and enjoy some fast-paced competition.

Based on grade and gender, teams will be assigned a time block to play on Friday evening or during the day on Saturday.

Each team will play at least two games. The tournament fee is $58 per team of up to four players and includes a T-shirt for each player.

Team registration forms and payment must be received by Monday, March 9, at the Chandler-Newberger Center. Registration forms can be picked up at the Center or downloaded online. For more information, call 847-448-8252.
