December Update

National's History

History - we are compiling a complete history of the Homeschool Basketball Nationals for publication in the Showcase. We have posted all the information that we have, the information is not complete and there may even be mistakes. Please help us if you see something that is in accurate.

Two Writer's Found -- Five More Needed

Writers - this year we will be doing a special program/magazine called The Showcase. The program will include All-American information and history about past national tournaments. We are looking for a number of people who would be willing to a take writing assignment, research and write an article for The Showcase. It is our goal to gather and preserve the history of Nationals through The Showcase over the next 5-7 years. If you're interested in writing or editing please contact us through the website.

Bloggers - we would like to have 4-5 people write a blog during the National Tournament. It would be best to have people who are not attached to one team for this project so they can watch and write about 4-6 games per day. We really want to enhance the interaction for people at home as well as having write ups on 25-35 games each day. This will be great if we can find bloggers, I would love to see a bunch of graduates do this. Conact at above e-mail address.

All-American Nominations from Tip Off

Trio Added

Based on their performance at Tip Off three players have been added to the All-American Nomination list:

Nashville Warriors -- Callum Sears
OKC Storm -- Sean Corser
Derby Invasion -- Kyle Barger

For a complete list of All-American Candidates

Regionals Update

Check out who is coming
Take a minute to see which programs are coming to a Regional Tournament. If you are hoping to be selected to the All-Region or All-American teams this year Regionals is a must. As a matter of fact based on the voting process if your team doesn't play at least 10 teams from your region during the year and you don't attend your Regional Tournament you should not expect to get enough votes to be selected to the All-American team.

All-Region Nominations


The Nationals Web Site has been updated to include All-Region Nominations and a full explanation of the selection process. If your team doesn't have any nominations you might want to mention it to your coach.
