About Nationals
The USBA National Tournament is the premier youth basketball tournament in the country for boys grades 2nd-12th. The top teams in the U.S. compete in a 5-day long tournament concluding with a championship game in which the USBA National Champion is crowned in three (3) different levels of competition. All participating USBA teams can get players grade verified via our partnership with National Sports ID ensuring fair play during the event. The USBA roster, and USBA Parent Waiver of Liability forms will also need to be turned in at check-in. All forms can be found under “Resources”.
*If you cannot find a USBA Regular Season tournament to attend, we do offer many “At-Large Invitations” to the USBA Nationals. Please contact the USBA office at 704-649-6812, or info@usbahoops.com.
COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
“COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS AT USBA NATIONALS”
Thank you for choosing the USBA Nationals!
To all USBA employees, teams, coaches, and fans:

-Anyone who has a temperature of 100.4 or higher, will not be allowed in the gym.
-Wearing a mask is highly encouraged!

-We encourage players to bring their own water bottles and do not use water fountains.
-Games will be staggered to allow only the two teams playing to be in the gym at the same time.
-Every two rows of bleachers will be vacant.
-Instead of shaking hands after the games, we are encouraging “AIR-5’s”, or “Air-Fist Bumps”. This will allow us to still keep our level of sportsmanship.
