Basketball games while in Florida
Hi all,
We are staying at AKL next year. Our son will be 10 and he loves basketball (he plays for a local kids team and goes to the Glasgow Rocks games when we can). We have also seen the Harlem Globetrotters a few times now and I think it would be wonderful to surprise him with a basketball game when we were in Florida. However I don’t know where to start with finding tickets, what team is better to see it even if they play end of May beginning of June. Any help is very much appreciated. |

I am not a sports fan but I think you will betoo late for any basketball. I do know it is a winter sport, the college playoffs are in March and I suspect pro playoffs in April.
You may find a baseball game. |

We saw Orlando Magics vs NY Knicks when we went on our 2012 trip. We got our tickets on ticketmaster and collected them at the stadium before the match.
This was in November though and I'm not sure what months the season pans over. Hopefully you can find something for him.

The NBA regular season runs from October to April (with playoffs running April - June).
Unless they go pretty deep into the playoffs you'll not be able to catch an Orlando Magic game. It's pretty unlikely given this season's results College basketball is out too unfortunately as this is November through to March Madness |

Thank you, at least we know now it’s probably not a possibility. Can we buy any replica basketball strips from anywhere?

Orlando Magics are the local team. Most sports shops will have replica shirts or go to the club shop at the Amway Centre.
Not sure when the new NBA experience at Disney Springs is open but worth investigating

As has been said, you're out of season so very unlikely to catch a game, but as the pp mentioned, have a look at taking him to the new NBA Experience at Disney Springs. It opens on 12th August this year and does look amazing for a basketball fan
My DS is a huge basketball fan (watching and playing) he can't wait to get here next time he comes out with us.

Unlucky with your timings as the NBA is a brilliant night out.
If your looking for Orlando Magic merch your best bet is at the club shop at the Amway centre. If your not bothered about the most up to date kits the Nike outlet at Vineland will have Magic t shirts etc. |
