Section 7 is the nation’s premier high school basketball event, a one of a kind national showcase where the top teams and elite student athletes compete under one roof. Sanctioned by the NFHS and operated by the Arizona Sports and Entertainment Commission in partnership with the Arizona Basketball Coaches Association, Section 7 has become the gold standard of scholastic basketball events.

​​

Created to provide meaningful exposure during the NCAA June Scholastic Live Period, Section 7 brings together hundreds of teams, thousands of players, and more than 800 college coaches representing every level of the game. It is more than a tournament. It is a direct pathway to collegiate opportunity.

​​

Beyond the competition, Section 7 represents collaboration, education, and community. It is where preparation meets possibility, where talent meets exposure, and where Arizona continues to set the national benchmark for high school basketball excellence.
