Many young people today lack access to safe, structured recreational opportunities that encourage healthy competition and community building. This tournament will provide an organized outlet where participants can showcase their skills, connect with peers, and strengthen local unity. The event will take place over one weekend at a community recreation center gymnasium, featuring teams of players aged 12 to 24. Local sponsors and volunteers will help cover costs for equipment, referees, and small prizes for the winning teams. In addition to the games, the tournament will include music, refreshments, and resource tables from community organizations promoting health and wellness. </div></dd>\n<dt name=\"textarea-1758648114412-0\">What is the problem your idea aims to address?</dt>\n<dd id=\"textarea-1758648114412-0\" name=\"textarea\"><div>The problem this idea aims to address is the lack of safe, engaging, and structured recreational activities for young adults in the community. Many youth struggle to find positive outlets for their energy and interests, which can lead to isolation, inactivity, or involvement in negative behaviors. Organized sports like basketball provide a healthy way to build teamwork, discipline, and social connections while promoting physical fitness and mental well-being. By creating a community basketball tournament, this program offers young adults a constructive environment to compete, have fun, and develop a stronger sense of belonging and community pride.</div></dd>\n<dt name=\"checkbox-group-1756922140917-0\">Which groups does your idea focus on?
