2010 Best of the Fall

EXPOSURE EVENT

Welcome to the official site for the Best of the Fall.

The eighth annual Best of the Fall tournament will be sponsored by New England adidas Phenom Basketball and hosted by Elite Sports Events on October 2-3. The two-day event will be hosted at New Haven Athletic Center and Fairfield area gyms - from Saturday, October 2nd through Sunday, October 3rd, 2010.

The Best of the Fall brings together many of the East Coast's Elite travel teams, A teams, and B teams to ensure that all teams are competing against teams of equal skill level. This tournament is open to AAU teams, travel teams, and high school teams.

While considerable attention will be focused on the high school division, the Best of the Fall also provides recruiting services with a tremendous opportunity to scout the up-and-coming youngsters.
