Section 7 is the nation’s premier high school basketball event — a one-of-a-kind showcase where the best teams and athletes in the country compete under one roof. Sanctioned by the NFHS and operated by the Arizona Sports & Entertainment Commission (ASEC) and the Arizona Basketball Coaches Association (ABCA). 

​

Created to give student-athletes a platform during the NCAA June Scholastic Live Period, Section 7 brings together hundreds of teams, thousands of players, and over 800 college coaches from every level of the game. It’s not just a tournament — it’s a gateway to the next level.

​

Beyond basketball, Section 7 represents collaboration, education, and community. It’s where talent meets opportunity, and where Arizona continues to set the national standard for scholastic basketball events.
