The LIC Hoops basketball tournament is returning for a second year next month.

The tournament will take place from June 2 and June 3 at the Gantry Plaza State Park basketball courts on 48th Avenue.

The June 2 event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., and reserved for adults ages 18 and over. There is a limit of eight teams for this event, which follows round robin play and Queens rules. A registration fee also applies.

The June 3 event, also from 9 a.m. to midday, is for children under 18. Participants will be divided by age groups, and no registration fee is required. A waiver, however, must be signed by a parent of guardian. Those interested in the June 3 event must pre-register, as space is limited.

Both the adult and kids tournaments will have referees on site.

The tournament features game clocks, trophies, drinks, and snacks.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside.
