Hall of Fame Jr. National Invitational 2026 Talented Basketball

Coach,

As we're inside the 2 week window for the Jr. National Invitational, we wanted to make sure to communicate grade/age guidelines and policies.

First, we are still following the 2026 spring/summer grades. So, if you played 6th grade this spring, you will continue to play in the same grade this June and July.

Second, please see the attached age/grade guidelines, especially for teams coming in from Canada, as sometimes the schooling is slightly different than the U.S.

If there are any questions or if you any concerns regarding your specific team, please let us know.

Thanks,

- The BasketBull Staff
