New for 2025! STATE has moved to the historic 10-court Bill Garrett Fieldhouse on the IU campus. Indiana's first true basketball venue and former home of the Hoosiers!

See You at State!

March 14,15,16  | 2025
Bloomington, IN
Boys & Girls | Grades 3-8

The 4th Annual Indiana Middle School Basketball Championship is a qualifier-based tournament with two divisions (one for Travel/Community/School teams and one for Club teams) and features top competition from all corners of the state.

All tournament games  will be played in Bloomington, including on the IU campus. To the best of our knowledge, this event will become the first youth tournament ever played in the historic 10-court Bill Garrett Fieldhouse on campus*.  Many thanks to the IU administration for making this happen!

* NCAA rules prohibit 7th and 8th grade boys from competing on a D-1 campus. As a result, those divisons will play at the 5-court Twin Lakes Rec Center – just two miles from campus.

State is almost here... ARE YOU READY?!


ELIGIBILITY

All team rosters are verified by the State Eligibility Committee prior to tournament play. Last season, we reviewed over 21,000 Proof of Eligibility documents!

GRANDFATHER EXCEPTION:  Any player who participated in a prior State tournament is automatically approved for 2025 play and does not need to re-submit Proof of Eligibility (POE) documents.  However, ALL players, returning or not, are required to have a new Parent/Guardian Waiver submitted for 2025.


MEET YOUR STATE REPS
