The West 4th Street Courts or "The Cage", sit on top of the West 4th subway station at 6th Avenue that serves the A-B-C-D-E-F-V trains. The courts are easily accessible to basketball and American style handball players from all over New York. The Cage has become one of the most important tournament sites for the city-wide "Streetball" amateur basketball tournament. The court is famous for its non-regulation size. Due to being so small more emphasis is given to 'banging inside', and tough physical play. Usually the sidelines are simply ignored during play. Due to the large number of players who come to play here (especially from the bronx), competition for playing time is stiff, and losing players rarely get to play twice in a row.
