WELCOME TO THE 25FORLIFE PAGE
This is the home of one of the greatest basketball teams ever to rep a TORONTO jersey. Up
and down the East Coast, Mid-West and across Canada, you won't find a better group of
guys than the 25FORLIFE crew.
What once started out as a basketball team, has now become a family and a way of life.
From our humble beginnings as a young group of ballers surprising the veterans with an
intense up-tempo style, to the perennial favourites in all the leagues and tournaments we
join - this crew has re-invented the Filpino basketball in Canada. Okay...so maybe that's
going a little far, but there's no denying the impact this crew has had on the scene since the
turn of the Millenium.
HISTORY
Ever since the team's first city league win in 1999 and Inter-City tournament appearance in
2000, 25-FOR-LIFE has taken home top honours in countless leagues and tournaments. In
addition to becoming a DYNASTY in the major Toronto-based Filipino leagues, the team
has brought hardware home from NYC, NJ, Washington DC, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Winnipeg, Windsor, and Michigan.
