City teams to converge for Municipal Madness Basketball

Teams from the Hoover Police, Fire, Public Works and Park Maintenance departments and more will compete in the annual Municipal Madness Basketball Tournament at the Hoover Recreational Center gymnasium this month.

The tournament will be held Friday, April 5, beginning at 3 p.m.

Teams play at least two games in the single elimination bracket with a consolation bracket.

The tournament is a fundraising program that was born in the Therapeutic Recreation Department more than 15 years ago. It is an opportunity for Hoover City Departments to put together a basketball team and play other city teams.

Players each pay $10 and receive a fun afternoon and a T-shirt while supporting one of the quality programs offered through Hoover Parks and Recreation. The winning team also gets bragging rights for a year.

Friends, family and co-workers are welcome to come out and cheer on their teams.
