This B-I-I-I-G Tournament will be  to be hosted from 24 –27 August 2007 at the SFC Hall in Swakopmund.
Forty teams from all over Namibia will bid for championship titles in nine separate divisions, during a marathon tournament from 24th – 27th August.
Teams from all clubs will be fighting tooth and nail this weekend to secure gold, so spectators can look forward to some feverish excitement as the tournament gets underway.
A record 79 games will see Swakop-mund host the longest inline tour-nament to date, starting at the SFC on Friday at 14h30 pm and ending only at 11h00am on Sunday. The games will be played back to back from 7 am until nearly midnight (on Saturday night) in this annual inline hockey bonanza, which has once again drawn players and teams from Botswana and South Africa.
There’ll be a chance to catch Nami-bia’s youngest inline talent in action, with players from six years upward already playing at tournament level. Nineteen teams will compete in the four youngest age divisions, showing how seriously Namibian inline hockey is tackling the challenge of broadening access to the sport.
At the other end of the spectrum, selected players from all clubs in the 14u, Ladies and Open division will showcase their skill and play in All Star exhibition games on Saturday night from 19h00. Fans can enjoy the skills and experience of the players who recently represented Namibia at the Ice and Inline Hockey Federation’s (IIHF) World Championships in Passau Germany.
As well as providing four solid days of first rate sport, the weekend also offers a great opportunity to socialize and relax, with a full-time bar, food and music. Tournament results will be announced at a prize-giving ceremony after the final game on Monday.
In six weeks time, the Coastal Pirates will host another sporting spectacular (12-14 October at the SFC) to showcase Namibia’s youth and development programme in Inline Hockey. The now annual Junior Development Tournament at the coast will focus on fun, thrills, skills and spills with some of the youngest inline players in the country taking to the rink.
