The City of Evanston and the Levy Senior Center Foundation, are presenting the annual Hoops for the Ages 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament on Saturday, June 7, 2025. Any basketball player age 40+ is invited to get a team together and participate.
The goal of the tournament is to celebrate senior basketball players who are proving that hoops can be played at any age! And to serve as a tune-up for the National Senior Games being held in Des Moines, IA July 24 through August 4.
Supporting the Levy Senior Center Foundation
Hoops, for the Ages is a fundraising event. All proceeds in excess of expenses will be donated to the Levy Senior Center Foundation. The foundation supports programs for older adults in the Evanston and greater Chicagoland communities. All participants and fans are encouraged to consider making a donation to the foundation.

The tournament will take place at the Evanston Township High School, 1600 Dodge Ave, Evanston, IL 60201.
Teams and Format
More than 100 basketball players between 40 to 90 years of age are expected to participate in the tournament in teams grouped by age. The men's and women's teams will compete at these age levels: 40-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, and 80+.
