The League City Convention & Visitors Bureau in partnership with Clear Creek ISD will host the Texas Classic, one of the longest-running premier spring basketball tournaments in the region. The NCAA-certified event, in its 21st year, features some of the top youth basketball players and teams from Texas and Louisiana.

This years' Classic, which begins on Friday, April 26 at 6 p.m., will be played at Clear Creek High School, Clear Creek Intermediate, and Clear Falls High School. Friday and Saturday morning will feature pool play to determine single-elimination bracket seedings. Championship games will be held on Sunday afternoon, April 28.

More than 140-teams in nine age brackets, from 9U through 17U are scheduled to compete in the elite boys’ tournament including programs from Louisiana Hoops Academy, Team Harden, TJ Ford Basketball (Houston), Brownsville Outlawz, DFW Hornets, Texas Elite Basketball, and many more.

This weekend also serves as an “evaluation” period in which collegiate basketball coaches may attend NCAA-certified events to watch college-bound student athletes compete.

Single-day tournament passes are $15 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and are good for entry at all three venues. A weekend tournament pass is $35. Passes can be purchased at the door.
