Dear Coach,

 

We are proud to announce the dates for the 15th Annual All-Ohio Nike Grassroots Basketball Tournament have been set for Friday, March 20, through Sunday, March 22, 2009, in Columbus, Ohio.  The entry fee of $380.00 will be due in full between January 1, 2009, and March 12, 2009, to ensure your team’s participation.  There are many good teams who want to attend.  We will take the first twenty-four (24) teams paid in each age group.  This tournament will feature top teams from across the country in each age group.

 

There will be eight grade groups for the boys division.  There will be a 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, 6^th, 7^th, 8^th  and 9^th  grade division for the boys.  The girls division of the tournament will be by age in the category of 10 & under, 11 & under, 12 & under, 13 & under, and 14 & under.

 

All teams are guaranteed a minimum of three games.  We will use the pool play format with four teams per pool.  There will be two 16-minute halves and a three-minute overtime period, if necessary, for the 6^th Grade through 9^th Grade.  2^nd through 5^th Grade will play two 14-minute halves.  A player is allotted six fouls before he/she is eliminated.  Each team has two time-outs per half.

 

The top two teams from each pool will advance to play for the championship.  Trophies will be given to the first and second place teams in each age group.  The outstanding player in each age group will receive an MVP award.  There will be an All-Tournament team for each age group.  There will be awards for each member of the first and second place team in each age group.  We will have fancy tournament t-shirts for you to purchase.

 

We look forward to seeing your team participate in this great event.

 

Yours in basketball,
