Jr. HoopHall Championships Springfield 2026 Shovel Town Express

Coaches,

Hope this email finds you doing well and excited for next weekend's Jr. HoopHall basketball tournament.

Please continue to work with Chelsea Johnson, from the Basketball Hall of Fame, for your group tickets with the High School HoopHall tournament. As a reminder, we cannot guarantee any schedule requests for the Jr. HoopHall. And, we cannot promise we'll be able to schedule around the High School games you wish to attend. We have to make sure our Jr. HoopHall tournament schedule is organized properly first.

We anticpate posting the schedule no later than Tuesday evening, but there's a chance it could be published prior to that.

Thank you,

The BasketBull Staff
