City of Knoxville Parks and Recreation has announced that youth basketball tournament games originally scheduled this week and canceled because of weather will resume on Monday, March 2.

"Obviously the weather threw off our schedule for this year's City youth tournament," said Joe Walsh, Knoxville Parks and Recreation Director. "Our athletics office has been diligently working to continue to provide a quality tournament in a timely manner convenient to participants and their families."

City youth basketball league tournaments involve considerable coordination, as the City brings together teams from all parts of Knoxville, beginning with 96 teams. At this stage, there are 52 teams remaining.

Outstanding games will be played Monday through Friday. Games will be played in eight gyms (seven City recreation centers and the Knoxville Adaptive Education Center).

The City youth basketball league has eight divisions:

Division	# of teams in league	# of teams remaining in tournament
Girls 8 and under	6	3
Girls 10 and under	8	3
Girls 12 and under	4	4
Boys 8 and under	19	12
Boys 10 and under	22	10
Boys 12 and under	22	10
Boys 14 and under	10	6
Boys 17 and under	7	4

If time allows, there will be a City/County Youth Basketball Championship after the City tournament is completed.
