VENICE BALL: BEYOND THE STREET

Welcome to VeniceBall 2010 edition where the game never stops. As soon as the NBA exciting season ends and summer kicks in we take you Live from the legendary courts of Venice Beach, California, for the most intense Streetball competition in the world. LET THE GAMES BEGIN

We introduce The Venice Basketball League, the first televised street-ball league of its kind. Combining the hardcore reality of the outdoor street basketball lifestyle with the glamour and glory of a professional league, The VBL brings structure to the street through team-owners, sponsors, coaches, signed players, schedules, rosters, records, mascots, cheerleaders, stats, and tournament-style playoffs. This summer, the worlds best players will form ten teams to battle it out every Sunday at the beach; all fighting for a chance to play in the championship game and bring home a piece of the grand prize.

Directed by Jon Nash, the co-creator of TVs Ballin (featured on Los Angeles television network LTN), the VBL coverage features on-court cameras that bring viewers closer to the action than any other NBA game ever has, delivering every dime, dunk, ali-oop, and crossover in crystal-clear high definition. Venice Ball is non-stop entertainment with Live DJs, MCs, performances, dunk shows and audience interaction. Highlights of the on-court artistry will be featured on www.digitalstream.tv and on VBLs partner sites, while the most intense match-ups will be broadcasted to the masses in their entirety on www.veniceball.com.

The Venice Basketball League will also take viewers off the court and show the personal lives of some of the league greatest players, emphasizing their positive impact in their community. The League itself is dedicated to uniting the diverse cultures of Los Angeles and the world through a mutual love for the game.

The VBL uses a unique set of rules, keeping the games moving and the highlights coming.  For a complete explanation of league rules, click here
