Hoop Jam 2026, a 3-on-3 street basketball tournament, will take place in Albany, at the LBCC Parking Lot, on August 8-9, 2026. Hoop Jam is a great way to focus on youth, community building, and character development through an athletic venue.
We anticipate over 3,000 players and families will be enjoying all that Albany has to offer during the Hoop Jam. As is true for all of the Boys & Girls Club of Albany’s events and programs, the youth are the true benefactors.
QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS?
VOLUNTEER WITH US!
Hoop Jam isn’t possible without awesome people like you. It’s run by The Boys & Girls Club of Albany, a local non-profit helping kids and teens grow, play, and thrive.
We need fun, dependable volunteers to help with setup, takedown, and keeping the good vibes going all day long. Lend a hand, make some memories, and be part of something bigger than basketball.
