December 26–31
Myrtle Beach

The tournament that started in 1981 as the dream of Socastee High School Coach Dan D’Antoni, the Beach Ball Classic has evolved over the years into what is now the Premier High School Holiday Tournament in all of the United States. This is a great event for taking a break from Christmas madness and focusing on some of the up-and-coming players dominating the high school courts.

Myrtle Beach Convention Center, 2101 N. Oak St. Visit website for schedule of matchups. $12–$75. (843) 231-7913, www.beachballclassic.com
