NIRSA Championship Series basketball has established a name for itself as a fantastic platform for competition and play. With a wonderful group of regional hosts, we expect nothing less than another year full of fun yet competitive tournaments.

The Basketball Work Team has been hard at work to guarantee the season runs smoothly for all involved. Work Team Chair Jeff Logsdon says, “I would like to thank all of the institutions who applied and the group of nine hard-working NIRSA professionals who were instrumental in host site selection. It is always the most challenging aspect as a committee to choose host sites because the institutions want to contribute to the development of the student participants, officials, and staff who attend these various tournaments.” The NIRSA Champ Series is grateful to have a hardworking group involved with our basketball regionals and nationals this year. Jeff adds, “It is an honor to work with all of these folks and I look forward to success during the NIRSA Champ Series Regional and National Basketball Championships!”
