We would love for you to join us in St. Louis, MO November 7-9, 2024, to tip off your season. Tip Off STL is one of the largest preseason Homeschool basketball tournaments in the nation. Last season 100 teams from 10 states began their season in St. Louis. Teams range from National Champions to newer, more inexperienced teams and everything in between. Tip Off is hosted in a brand new 9 court, 97,000 square feet facility in West St. Louis County near great hotels, restaurants, shopping and family activities. Best of all we are excited to partner with Disciple the Nations to help bring Scripture to unreached people groups with no access to Scripture in their language.

Tip Off offers brackets for Boys and Girls teams 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, 18U and even Alumni. Multiple divisions off include Division I & II brackets. All teams will play a minimum of 3 games.
