Teams from areas that don't have qualifying tournaments may receive a waiver to participate.
We usually have teams from a number of states participate and we expect it to fill up. Get in Now.
Pool play will begin on Friday for the 12u and above age groups. For the 10u teams, tournament play will begin on Saturday.
Gift Exchange: Teams will do a gift exchange with their first game opponent. If there is an odd number of teams, we may assign your team with a team to exchange gifts. Teams usually come up with some theme for the nationals or a theme idea to represent their team as a gift. It doesn't have to be extravagant, just something to show a token of sportsmanship.
We plan to have an Opening Ceremonies on Thursday. More details on that will be posted here.
