How can I participate in the Miller Factory Classic?

There are two ways you can participate in the Miller Factory Classic. The first way is to enter a team which would require a $650 team entry fee that includes 10 team uniforms & 10 regular season games plus the playoffs. Also, each team must be sponsored/represented by a business, organization, church, etc. If you can't get a sponsor to pay for your entry fee, you can break the fee up with the players on your team; however you would still have to be represented by a business, organization, church, etc.

What is the Miller Factory Classic?

Established in 2005, Miller Factory Classic is the only 5-on-5 outdoor basketball league in Columbus, Ohio. With the 4th Annual Miller Factory Classic approaching, each previous years event was completed successfully providing a platform for student athletes and adults alike to showcase their talents in a rejuvenating however non-traditional outdoor format. The Classic gives athletes as well as spectators a safe and family oriented environment to congregate as an alternative to negative behavior that seemingly engulfs our city during the hot summer months. During our 3 years existence, we’ve:

• had over 300 participants & over 20,000 spectators
• Donated two fiberglass basketball goals to the Columbus Africentric Early College School
• Successfully completed several community clean-ups along Livingston Ave from 2005-2007
• In 2007, we sent 7 children to the Former Brookhaven H.S. & OSU Tailback Mo Hall All-Star Football Camp
• While participating in our league, three former Columbus City League players were recruited and given college scholarships. 

How long are the games?

The games are two 20 minutes halves, with a 10 minute break in-between.
