• Coach gift bags provided with a custom coach towel and treats for their players
• One player from every game recognized for their good sportsmanship
• Considerate start and end times - no games before 9 am and no games after 7 pm

We had a wide variety of associations playing in the 2019 Invitational including:

"I can say without reservation that this was the best tournament we have attended all year and we've been in 11 of them!"

"It was the best run Blaine tournament in my four years and it rivals the better tournaments we have participated in."

"The hospitality was great and our girls had a good time!"

"I loved the Sportsmanship awards. The girls loved the recognition and the parents thought it was a nice touch!"

"The times of the games were great. We appreciated not having to play so early in the morning given how far we had to travel. Thanks!"

"We loved the unique championship award (street signs) and the high quality t-shirts. Our girls loved them!"

"The coach/team gift bag was unique. I've never seen that at a tournament before."

"Having the championship games announced was special for the girls. The livestream was cool too." 

"It was a great tournament and if I'm a coach next year I will definitely be back!" 

This was the second year we live streamed most of the bracket championship games that were played on center court at Blaine High School. Our live streaming continues to grow as we had over 1,100 people viewing the stream during Sunday's games. 

You can view an archive of the live streams on our YouTube channel here.

At every game one player was recognized demonstrating good sportsmanship and was recognized with a Gatorade bottle. Congratulations to all those players that were recognized! Here are just a few of those winners:
