NKY Groundhog Day Showdown Crusaders

Coaches,

We wanted to shoot out a quick discount code for March events as a thank you for supporting Grassroots Tournaments this winter. Please use discount code NKY25 to save 25% off all Grassroots Tourneys events this spring.

The NKY Lockdown on March 21-22 highlights multiple divisions (D1, D2, and Potentially D3) within each age group. We already have 3-4 teams at each age group and in each D1 and D2 divisions that are coming in from MI and Northern OH. We would love to see you at this event. It will be the kick off to our spring events and will be an experience to remember. Please sign up early, we have 10 courts booked but are looking to add more as the interest in blowing up. Hope to see the boys on the court soon.

Coaches,

Good afternoon, I hope everyone has had a blessed week. I have made a few tweeks to help accomodate the requests and to make the gametime start/finish times for the day more favorable for the divisions/teams opening and closing the day. Please review your schedule by clicking here.
