Back for 2025: The Podium, a 9-court downtown Spokane venue, named “The Podium powered by STCU”, remains in our exciting mix of State tournament facilities!


WIDE Geographic Diversity

The 2024 State Tournament featured teams from throughout Washington offering fresh competition for all squads. 

Players hailed from 787 zip codes and 532 different towns across the state. Check out the map above with all of the hometowns represented at State 2024! #SeeYouAtStateWA

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.
