August 15-17, 2008

Chicago, IL

We started with 64 ... and now we're down to the Sweet Sixteen. Only the top 4 teams from each regional tournament will be invited to stake their claim as the GBOA Champion for 2008. Each team begins with a clean slate and the dream of returning home as the crowned champs of GBOA Hoops 2008. But, to win the hardware you must be the best of the best.

GBOA Challenge of Champions will be home to, hands down, the best grassroots basketball played during 2008. No hype, no excuses. This is one championship that will be settled on the floor. 

This year’s GBOA Challenge of Champions will take place in Chicago, the backyard of former grassroots basketball greats such as Dwyane Wade, Devin Harris, Quentin Richardson, and Derrick Rose. The tournament will  feature not only intense competition between the top 16 teams in North America, but also an impressive display of individual skills with the national finals of the Slam Dunk Contest and 3-Point Shootout.

GBOA Challenge of Champions will also be home to the 1st Annual GBOA Hoops All-Star Game featuring the top 20 players from the entire country. 

Don’t miss your chance to see history in the making. GBOA Hoops players will be household NBA names within 5 years ... maybe even sooner.

Tickets will be on sale through www.gboahoops.com soon!
