BLAZERS
TO HOLD YOUTH & A.A.U. TOURNAMENTS IN 2008 |
North Country Blazers Basketball Association will
hold their 7th annual tournament in 2008. The youth
version will be held March 29th and 30th. The
association’s large tournament will be held April 25th,
26th and 27th. In the past six years, the Blazers have
played host to over 150 teams. Over the past four
years, the organizers have had to stop taking
registrations about four weeks prior to the tournament
after hitting the capacity. We are assured to see more
buzzer beating action like last year's championship
games!
With some unique and popular features like online
scoring and tournament tracking, this tournament has
set the bar for many others to follow. Once again,
we will feature only certified officials for the
April tournament and the most popular dunk contest
and the best concession stand around.
We hope that your team will kick their AAU season off
with us. Please register early so that you are
assured a spot! You can use our
convenient Online
Registration Form.
