President's Welcome

Welcome to the 2025 San Jose Ninja Invitational Basketball Tournament! This year marks our 42nd annual tournament, bringing together 100 teams and over 800 players from Sacramento, Southern California, and across the Bay Area. San Jose is the place to be this April 19-20!

As the competition heats up, we encourage all spectators to cheer with enthusiasm and show great sportsmanship. Our players, referees, and dedicated parent volunteers are giving their all to make this tournament a success—let’s keep the energy positive!

​After a day of intense basketball, it’s time to connect and celebrate. Join us Saturday night at the Santa Clara Marriott for our signature socials—Adult, High School, and Middle School. Whether you’re reconnecting with old friends or meeting new ones, these events are a tournament highlight you won’t want to miss.

A huge thank you to the Ninja Board of Directors, Tournament Committees, and Ninja families for their dedication in making this weekend possible. Here’s to an incredible weekend of basketball and lasting memories!
