The Quartier Ouest Association, in partnership with ASPTT Caen Basket, is organizing a 5-on-5 U11 boys tournament on regulation 3.05m hoops, called Les P’tits Pouss, on Saturday, June 21, 2025, in Caen (Normandy).
PRESENTATION
What makes our tournament unique is that the children will play on regulation-height hoops (3.05m), just like in the U13 category, while still using their usual size 5 ball. This format is ideal for second-year U11 players, as it helps them gradually adapt to the playing conditions they will face next season in U13, ensuring a smooth transition.
This event is open to clubs, groups of friends, and associations. Beyond the sporting aspect, its aim is to bring together young players from different regions and allow them to connect through their shared passion for basketball.
This high-quality tournament will guarantee you an intense and unforgettable basketball weekend, both on and off the court.
It is with great joy that we welcome you to Normandy, a place where life is good and all the ingredients are in place for a successful and enjoyable stay.

The tournament will take place across two venues, just 10 minutes apart on foot, ensuring smooth organization and a warm welcome for players, spectators, and staff.
