November 11, 2024 by MADE Hoops Staff

Miami, FL — MADE Hoops is pleased to announce the field of teams and schedule for the 2024 Army National Guard Main Event.

Games will be played at Miami Dade College’s Gibson Center Gymnasium (11011 SW 104th St, Miami, FL 33176) from December 6-7, 2024, all games will be live streamed.

This premier basketball event will showcase some of the country’s elite high school basketball teams, along with 25+ players ranked in the Top 150 of the classes of 2025, 2026, and 2027. In addition to local Florida participants, the showcase will feature teams from four states (California, Washington, D.C., North Carolina, and Texas).

The showcase, which launched last year as 'The Maine Event,' featured Cooper Flagg's highly anticipated homecoming in Portland, Maine during his senior season at Montverde Academy. The sold-out showcase drew extensive national media attention, including coverage from the NBA, Instagram, and Bleacher Report, establishing a thrilling foundation for this year’s event in Miami. 

 “We are thrilled to continue the Main Event and bring it to the next level in Miami. This event will be a staple high school basketball showcase for many years to come, highlighting the nation’s top talent in and around their hometown,” said Chad Babel, Founder and CEO of MADE Hoops.
