Summerfest
Summerfest - Fredericton
2025 Dates - July 18-20
Registration Opens - May 13th
Summerfest returns again for 2025! Last year's tournament featured almost 80 teams playing in 8 different gyms with teams from Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Early bird registration for Summerfest begins May 10th.
Spots in the tournament fill up quickly so be sure to register early! Due to the constraints on gym time and officials availability, special requests for scheduling are not likely to be accepted. The organizing committee will attempt to take travel into account but registered teams should be prepared to play from Friday at 12pm to Sunday at 5pm.
Similar to previous years we plan to have the following divisions:
-
Men's & Women's Open Division (U17+): This is our showcase division open to all provincial teams competing in the 2024 17U National Championships, University/College teams, AAU teams and strong U17+ club teams.
-
Men's & Women's Competitive Division (U15 & U16): Teams in this division will compete against BNB’s 15U & 16U provincial teams. One side of the draw will be for provincial teams and highly competitive club teams (up to U17 age), and the other side for smaller clubs or communities.
-
Men's & Women's Development Division (U13 & U14): This division is mainly for U13 & U14 teams but some developmental U15 teams may be considered. Club teams may also be considered for this division.
Please note that the divisions are a guide - the goal of the tournament is to provide appropriate competition for all teams involved - stronger or more developmental teams may be placed outside of the age ranges listed above.
