EARN YOUR SPOT AT THE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Providence - Tiverton, RI
Boys & Girls | Grades 3-8
The 5th Annual New England Basketball Championship is a qualifier-based tournament for travel/community/school teams only and features top competition from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.
To accommodate the continued growth of this regional event to over 200 teams, over 20+ courts are needed. Unfortunately, there are not that many courts available in a single weekend. As a result, we are splitting things into two great events: a Girls Championship Weekend and a Boys Championship Weekend!
Note: All games on the Girls Championship Weekend of March 13-15 will be played at Longplex in Tiverton. On the Boys Championship Weekend of March 20-22, grades 3-6 will be in Tiverton while grades 7-8 will be in Providence.
WIDE GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY
The 2025 Regional Championship featured teams from throughout New England offering fresh competition for all squads. Players hailed from 256 zip codes and 222 different towns across the region. Check out the map above with all of the hometowns represented at States 2025! #SeeYouAtStatesNE
The Championships will again feature:
- 4 game minimum
- Town/Travel/School teams only. No AAU teams.
- NFHS rules including stop clock games
- College and HS certified Officials
- All games will be live streamed
