Pocono Invitational
What Clubs said about the  Pocono Invitational

Everything ran fine and us at the Lady Liners were delighted with the sites, referees, and the overall running of the tournament. You guys do an outstanding job and we look forward to seeing you at another tournament. Thanks, Russ Viscomi, Jay Yarnell, Megan Haughey The Lady Liners

You ran a great tournament and worked the schedule very well.  Of the 4 games we played: one game we won by 10pts and one game we lost by 10 pts, the other two games were decided by 2pts and 1pt.  You matched us up very well against teams that were at our level of competition. 
 Thank you. Regards, Brian Schreder, Saucon Valley AAU

Thank you very much for all of the work it must have taken to pull off a very well organized tournament. I have spoken with all of the coaches from our Great Valley Girls Basketball program that were involved this past weekend as well as several parents who attended. All seemed pleased with the event, facilities, competition, officiating, etc. I will definitely recommend any NEPA events to our teams as well as others in our area in the future. Thanks again!  Keith Walsh GVBL Director

Tournament was well run. Great job. Paul Brutto 12U is Little Fillies Blue, 14U Little Fillies Gold, 16U Little Fillies White.

 Middle Atlantic Championship / National Qualifier

On behalf of myself, our girls, and our parents, "Thank You" and your staff for all their hard work this past weekend as we participated in your 17-U girls Mid-Atlantic Basketball Championships at Hoop City.  I have been bringing my girls to Hoop City for the past three or so years and each time our experience is great.  Everyone is courteous and attentive to our needs.  From all my years coaching girls basketball I certainly know just how much hard work goes into running an event like you do. All too often you never hear kind words but rather complaints. We just wanted to give your group "Kudos" for a job well done.  Since this is my 17-under group I suspect that next year I will be starting all over again and coach the little ones. The good news is that if I do I will certainly bring them back to participate in your events.  I'm looking forward to many more years of a good working relationship with you. 
Thanks again.  Rick Sacidor Coach  Far Northeast Philadelphia FIRE
