CANCELLED
Vipers Spring Break-Out
May 30/31, 2020
2020 Girls AAU Basketball Tournament
Unfortunately we have had to cancel this year's tournament due to the impact of the COVID-19 virus. We simply do not have access to gyms and facilities at this time, and we can't predict when they may reopen. We want to assure attendees that they can play and observe in a safe environment, and we do not have a plan in place for that as yet.
Refunds are being made to all teams at this time. Contact us if you haven't received your refund by April 25.
We expect to return as a great Spring kick-off event in 2021 at all six of our great basketball venues. Look for our dates later this year and SIGN UP EARLY FOR 2021.
Please contract us with any questions.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. Stay healthy!

This is a GIRLS TEAMS ONLY event. FOUR GAME GUARANTEE. We're here to play basketball and not send you home after your third game. Great way to get a new team going and perfect for established teams needing a tune up. Great concessions at every gym. Easy access for teams throughout most of New England and Upstate New York.
