Magen David had a scaled-down version of its preseason tournament last month but the 2021-22 Jewish Hoops America season gets underway for good this week at the 7th annual Steve Glouberman Tournament in Los Angeles.
The tournament hosted by Shalhevet starts Wednesday and features 10 boys teams and 8 girls teams. Preliminary games run through Thursday night. Quarterfinals and girls semifinals are on Friday and the boys semifinals, consolations and championship games will be played on Saturday night.
Shalhevet, YULA, Berman HA, HA Miami, Frisch, HAFTR and Ramaz will compete in both the boys and girls tournaments. They will be joined by the boys teams from Northwest Yeshiva High School, Flatbush and TABC and the girls team from Ida Crown.

This year’s tournament marks a return to just varsity teams participating. The 2020 tournament was postponed until this past spring because of the pandemic. It was a hybrid event that included alumni teams, all star teams and even junior varsities.
