A GREAT DAY OF HOOPS IS COMING YOUR WAY!

The Fall Hoops Fest Pre Season All-Star-All-State Games has developed into something special.

The response to this event has been far greater than expected
and because of that, we are splitting the sections in half (high school/middle school) over consecutive week-ends. The High School Division will still be played Sunday October 25, 2009 at Mesquite High School as originally schedule.

The Rising Stars and Middle School portion of this event will be moved to the following Sunday November 1st @ Camelback H.S. with games beginning at Noon.

We pride ourselves on being original and not just being another cloned event. We live by our motto “If you can play… We’ll find you” and that’s exactly what our goal has been with this event.

Each game will be played on CENTER COURT that’s right CENTER COURT! There will be NO other games going on simultaneously, so that you the player will have all eyes on you and you the fan or parent, get the chance to see your favorite player or son play exclusively.

There will also be an announcer for each game as well as a professional film production company (6 foot five productions) on hand to film/record each game.  Professional quality dvd’s will be made available to the players and public to purchase at very reasonable prices. Admission is just $5 for adults, amd $3 for kids 10 and under. So bring the whole family!

The day will began with the 1pm Freshman game and conclude with the Senior Game Grand Finale at 5:30.  Midway through there will be a break allowing our guest speakers Jeff Meadows, and Dinos Trigonis to speak to the participants about recruiting and the importance of participating in “the right events.”

As we are finalizing the team rosters, one thing is clear … ALL of the games are LOADED with talent!
So for those of you who have been waiting for an event like this you are truly going to enjoy the first class organization and smorgasbord of talent that will be displayed.
