The New Heights and Team NJ ABC grassroots programs are hosting the Summer In The City (SITC) AAU tournament later this month at St. John’s.

According to New Heights’ coach and athletic director Kimani Young, SITC will not only be a showcase for players but a welcome addition to the current summer landscape.

“We love traveling, but we also wanted to create an event that brought the experience home,” said Young. “We feel like New York is the center of the basketball universe and, as such, we thought there should be a tournament that capitalizes on that energy.”
