July 2nd, 2009For a preview of what’s in store, check out the 2008 Opening Ceremonies.
The 2009 AAU Boys’ Basketball 9U Division II National Championships are right around the corner. Descending on Disney’s Wide World of Sports from July 15-21st the young guns will set the stage for the rest of the summer’s basketball highlights. Planning on waiting to come out for the college prospects? Don’t sleep on the third graders because they have skill bigger than their shoe size.
Think that this is just another tournament? Think again. This isn’t a game of pickup in your backyard, boys and girls. The Disney facilities house double digit courts and will be rocking as teams duke it out on the hardwood. 52 teams from across the country will be making the journey to Mickey’s backyard. The boys will be representing sixteen states from across the U.S.: Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Maryland, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, California, New Jersey, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, and even Puerto Rico.
Come to Florida as center court turns into center stage. Walk in like the pros at the opening ceremonies: lights beaming down, name booming through the loud speakers, and fans cheering. Be sure to dress uniformly so the spectators can put a name to the faces as you walk into the limelight. Stick around after your introduction to enjoy all of the special guests and live entertainment. It is sure to be a show you won’t want to miss, and will never forget.
Once the festivities are through, the tournament action will heat up bringing all the madness of March to July. Pool play will allow teams the opportunity for a Round Robin forum as they earn their seeds for the final push towards the title.
After the final buzzer sounds, honors and awards will be given out to the top teams. Trophies will be given out to the top 10 squads while individuals from the best 14 teams will leave with gold, silver, bronze and more hardware hanging from their necks. The most important prize won’t have the shine of a medal or the weight of a trophy though. Teams that place in the top four will receive their choice to an automatic bid back to the Division II championships or to the Division I Championships for 2010. Teams that place between 5th and 12th will also receive an automatic bid back to the Division II Championships next summer. For a look at last year’s champions Click Here.
