MSNM began producing NCAA Certified girls’ basketball tournaments in 1998 in Kirkland, WA. Since that time MSNM has grown to have tournaments in Seattle and San Diego every year. We have also held events in Tempe, Arizona, Berkley, California, Santa Clara and Colorado Springs, Colorado in past years.
We are looking forward to greeting teams from China and Germany in our Seattle and San Diego events this year as the scope of MSNM expand to more foreign countries.
The NCAA is making dramatic changes to the July, 2013, viewing period.
Our April and October events feature a four-game guarantee and the July events are all a five-game guarantee format. All NCAA Certified events are within the “viewing periods” as outlined on the NCAA DI recruiting calendar for 2011-2012.
Each year dozens of girls' get their scholarships and chances to play at the next level from playing in our events. You WILL be seen! Team coaches, as well as players and their parents, need to take serious responsibility in marketing their student-athlete prior to any tournament play. If you need ideas on this contact MSNM we can help you with that process. Players need to be proactive about getting seen at events. Many coaches whose teams play in our events tell us their players are simply better basketball players after participating in our tournaments.
Elite Teams (both club and high school) are selected because of their regional or national prowess demonstrated in major girls basketball tournaments. All-Star teams (both club and high school) comprise an open division consisting of major girls basketball programs who do not qualify for the Elite Division.
For each team playing in our NCAA Certified events, girls' basketball teams must each have a roster registered on the NCAA website. In addition, all coaches on that team must have a MANDATORY NCAA Coaches Approval granted prior to the tourney. These two things are completed on NCAA Info pages. Every team also must have each player, parent and coach signed the Mandatory Team Waiver which must be turned in completed at the Tourney office before playing.
