Why the Best of the South:
In its inaugural year (2011) the Best of South attracted over 100 college programs and some of the top high school players in the country participated in the event. ALL GAMES are played at Suwanee Sports Academy. We won't take any more teams than we can fit on our 7 courts. College coaches are tired of driving from gym to gym when they can have the convenience (and air-conditioning) of seeing everything under one roof. Our format gives players the best chance of getting noticed by college programs who might want to recruit them.
Check out the coverage of the 2011 Best of the South including articles and video archives of some of the games streamed online during the event.
The 2012 Best of the South will be one of the top exposure events of the summer. Registration is limited and teams are already committing to the 2012 event.
