High school championships are won in the spring but the blueprint is laid it long before that. In the fall of 2023, high school basketball teams from across the country will have a chance to fine-tune their teams before practice even gets started with the Claim the Crown tournament.

Teams are encouraged to apply for the October 20-22 event today. This will be an invite-only event. The format will be brackets only, no match-up games. Teams will be paired against like-minded and talent-matched opponents. This will be our most talented event of the year. We can’t wait to roll it out.
