The Midwest Shoot-Out started out as a bi-annual event in June of 2004. The first Shoot-Out was a huge
success with sixteen competitive teams traveling from Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, West
Virginia and other neighboring states. Phat Kapps (Nashville, Tn) turned in the best performance and
took home the 1st place trophy and the $4000 prize money. Since then, we have had three more
successful Shoot-Outs. Winners of those Shoot-Outs were Heads Da Bed from Indianapolis, In (Sept. 04),
Headings Construction from Columbus, Oh (June 05), and New Beginning For Youth (sponsored by
Jacquie's Market) from Columbus, Oh (Aug. 05).
The Midwest Shoot-Out Committee is extremely happy with the level of talent the teams have
demonstrated in previous tournaments. In fact, not only did New Beginning For Youth win the Aug. 05
Midwest Shoot-Out, they were also the National Men's AAU Champions in Sacramento, Ca. (April 05) and
the Independence Bank Pro-Am Champions in Owensboro, Ky. (July 05).
Today
As of July 2006, the Midwest Shoot-Out will become an annual, instead of a bi-annual, event. This
summer will also be the breakout year for the 2nd Annual Women's Tournament. The Women's division
will consist of 12 competitive teams competing for a cash prize of $800. The Men's division will consist of
18 highly competitive teams competing for "The Best In The Midwest" title and cash prize up to
$10,000. Most teams will have players with professional experience (NBA, CBA, Europe, Etc.), Pro Am
experience, and or college experience. This year's Midwest Shoot-Out will be one of the most exciting
basketball tournaments in history.
