Vancouver, B.C. - Get to know one of our newer team captains of Metro League, Tyson Perry of Shamgodz.

‍

Q1: What year did you first join The Vancouver Metro Basketball League™ and how many seasons have you been a part of to date?

A1: First season was in the Fall of 2018. We just wrapped up our second season with the squad in January 2020.

‍

Q2: Being a team captain, how did you put your team together?

A2: Originally my friend and I came out for an open run hoping to join a team. We picked up a few guys at the run and managed to get a few of our friends to fill out a free agent team in the first year. We had such a great time and had awesome chemistry, so most of the squad came back to play for another season.

‍

Q3: What’s your relationship with teammates? How long have you known them / how did you meet them?

A3: Only one of our teammates is from BC - the rest are from other parts of the country. We met through work, university or friends of friends. It's been a great opportunity to meet some other ballers who are all around great guys.

‍

Q4: How does The Vancouver Metro Basketball League™ and the game of basketball bring you and your team together?

A4: The league is extremely organized. It creates a lot of excitement because of the added competitiveness that can be difficult to replicate in a pick up game.

‍

Q5: Of all the leagues in the city and in the lower mainland, why choose The Vancouver Metro Basketball League™ to bring your team together?

A5: Teams are motivated to win this league. Every night you have to bring your 'A' game if you expect to win, and that makes the league second to none.
