The HoopHall Invitational aims at providing high school-aged travel teams in the Northeast the opportunity to play in a competitive tournament while be exposed to college coaches. Division I coaches are not able to recruit during the month of April any longer, therefore playing in competitive tournaments where Division II and III coaches, recruiting services, and games being filmed occur are ever more crucial. The HoopHall Invitational will provide your team with an opportunity to gain exposure during the Spring.
