2017 NCBBA National Championship History

Notre Dame College – Cleveland, OH – April 7th – 9th, 2017

2017 was a year of growth and change for The National Club Basketball Association.  With a record breaking amount of new teams coming on board it was time for a fresh venue to host the National Championship.  After an extensive search, the Murphy Gym in the Keller Center on the campus of Notre Dame College in Cleveland, Ohio proved to be that ideal location.  Eight NCBBA teams advanced to the National Championship tournament through Regional Playoffs, which took place Friday, April 7th through Sunday, April 9th. The event was once again a single elimination, three-day tournament that ultimately determined the 2017 National Champion. On Saturday April 8th the NCBBA once again hosted the popular NCBBA Skills competition followed by it’s first ever all star game.
