GREENSBORO -- About a dozen teams from across the country were in Greensboro Saturday to compete in the National Deaf Basketball Tournament.

The teams came from as far away as California and as close as Greensboro and Charlotte.

When on the court, the players use hand signs to communicate during play. Organizers said it's a real experience to see.

“There's a lot of deaf people that are really good players they can do everything, they just can't hear, said Joseph Brafford with the National Deaf Basketball Organization. “They can drive they can play basketball. They have the power to do anything that they need.”

This is the second year for the national tournament.

Organizers said next year they'll head to Chicago to play against other deaf teams.
