Tournament Information

The 2024-25 season will be our 34th year hosting youth basketball tournaments in Central Nebraska, we draw teams from more than 60 Nebraska communities and surrounding states each year. Register early and book your motel rooms!

ONE NIGHT STAY: We always schedule teams from 3-5 hours away with a later start on Saturday so that distant teams only need to stay one night.

3 GAME GUARANTEE: All teams play 3 games during our events.

RULES: 8 minute quarters. The clock will stop on all free throws, timeouts and injuries. The clock will stop on all whistles the last one minute of each quarter. Two timeouts per half. No full court press in 3rd-5th girls and 3rd boys divisions. Complete list of rules available in each schedule packet.

SCHEDULE CONFLICT: If you have a league game, music concert, or some conflict that we can schedule around so that your team is able to participate, just let us know by email when you submit your registration.

COMPETITION: We draw teams from a variety of competitive levels from all corners of Nebraska, plus Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota and Iowa.
