High school coaches and teams can register now for the 810 Varsity events in June.
Two June events will be held for high school boys basketball teams, with both weekends available for NAIA and junior college coaches to attend. NCAA Division II coaches can attend the June 21-23 event at Lee's Summit.
The list of schools annually attending is impressive annually from Kansas City, including the Staleys, Park Hills, Lee's Summits, Blue Valley schools and others. Plus schools from around the region too, inlcuding Omaha, Springfield and Arkansas.
"810 Varsity has done a great job over the years with the high school season events of matchups and bringing in teams from the area," said Staley head coach Chris Neff. "And with helping run the summer AAU events, has a great grip on getting college coaches and what they are looking for. This is great for Kansas City."
The events offer an affordable entry ($395) per team, and teams can stay local in Kansas City rather than traveling to team camps at area colleges. Discounts are available for entering multiple events, or multiple teams (varsity, junior varsity).
And the event offers a great recruiting event for the likes of Washburn, Northwest Missouri State, Pittsburg State and Missouri Westerns -all which attended during the last events, in addition to other Division II and NAIA schools. Many have already confirmed interest in making the events a stop on the recruiting trail in June.
"This is a great event we attend, to see different teams and get our kids exposure," said Dick Rippee, head coach of Bentonville. "The D-I stars get all the attention, but most kids will play at the DII, NAIA or Juco level."

Registration Process
If want - especially since most will be via a school check or PO - you can sign up via TourneyMachine.com (links above or below) and select Cash/Check at the end of the online process to be registered. You won't have to pay now via this option. Also can just tell Chad Rader and will sign up teams for this option.
If a PO / invoice is needed, contact me and I'll send it over to submit.
Registration Deadline
While the deadline is 7-10 days before each event, I'd rather if you're going to participate to notify me and get registered, with payment later, than wait until the final minute and I get a wave of teams that I wasn't prepared for with gyms, officials, personnel, etc.
