This annual tournament started back in 1981 with just eight teams. Today it is the premier holiday high school basketball tournament in the United States. Catch a few games and you may even witness a future NBA superstar—the likes of Vince Carter and Kobe Bryant played in the Beach Ball Classic in years past.
