NXTLVLNSH
Thank you for your interest in the Next Level (NXT LVL) Hoopfest. This unique event was started with multiple intentions (which are stated below) but most importantly to share the Servant Leadership characteristics of Christ with these young men and women who are traveling from all over the country to play one of the premier tournaments the country has to offer.
Teams:
Teams are selected based on criteria ranging from having won a state championships in the past years BUT also not being a prep school. The teams are the best teams in their respected state.
Coaches:
Coaches are a big determination of what schools get invited. There are many good coaches that are worried about the W, and while that is important, there are a select few of great coaches that are worried about raising boys into men and girls into women. It doesn’t mean your team isn’t good, as these teams are still usually the state champion. It means, for us, we will have the ears of the team that best fits our model. The coaches are loved on, DEEPLY! Coaches gifts are well received as well as gifts for their spouses. They are recognized in front of all the players and built up to thank them for all their hard work.
Players:Many of these players will never have the college exposure in the four years of playing (high school and AAU) that they will have over the three days competing at the NXT LVL Hoopfest. They are the best of the best that decided to stay at their local high schools and not peruse the prep school life. Players are loved on with gifts as if they were playing in a college Holiday Classic. Each team is given a host family who greets them with gifts, is responsible for letting them know where to go for shoot-a-rounds, practice and games.
