A tradition of teamwork

Making history

Celebrating its fourth year, the T-Mobile Invitational has become one of the country’s premier high school basketball tournaments, as well as a showcase for community involvement. In previous years, the tournament has featured multiple All-Americans, three nationl players of the year, and several athletes currently suiting up in college uniforms across the country.

More than a game

Teamwork at this tournament extends off the court and into the community. Our Huddle Up program has given athletes a real chance to make an impact, and this year is no different.
