Tournament of Champions

The Scoop

The Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions is celebrating its 21st year and will again be an NCAA Certified event!!!   Not only will the top scouting services once again cover the action, but many college coaches will also be in attendance.  For teams who have played in the event before, note that this year the tournament will be held April 26-28 to take advantage of the open period for college coaches.   The event will again be in Atlanta so all games can be played under one roof at Suwanee Sports Academy.   We have limited capacity in our invitational division;  64 teams for 17u, 60 teams for 16u and 32 teams for 15u.    

Qualifying teams will again receive an invitation from our tournament committee to participate in the invitational division.
