IndiWorld3 West Qualifier Nike Gymrats President’s Day Preview

The Nike Gymrats President’s Day tournament is here in Portland, Oregon and we are fired up.

This will be Year 2 of IndiHoops coverage and last year’s Final 4 was INSANE.

Seattle Rotary was the biggest revelation from the event, and ended up making a deep run at the IndiWorld2 final – almost winning the whole thing.

IndiHoops Certified Club Membership. One of the great benefits of being a member is a great feature that we came up with.

We found that a lot of people are searching for clubs and AAU Boys Basketball clubs and teams to join. In
diHoops.com is showing up for many, as we have over 3,000+ in our directory. Also, most websites have no idea how to optimize for GOOGLE and being searchable. Their websites are also not mobile friendly. Definitely a characteristic that Google hates. Find basketball tournaments to go to in our Youth Basketball Tournaments directory after you log in.

Your club on IndiHoops will usually outperform your own website. If your club is listed on IndiHoops, but you don’t have ownership of it and want to edit your club.
Step 1 – Go to www.indihoops.com/aau-boys-basketball-clubs
Step 2 – Find your club.
Step 3 – You will now see a “Claim Your Club” on the left hand side. Click on it and fill out the info.
Step 4 – After we approve your submission, you can then log in, go to your club, and an edit option will now appear!
You can now update your information, update your logo, enter your roster…for starters.

We would also be interested in your feedback. What would make your experience better as a club or aau boys basketball operator? Are you a club or aau boys basketball tournaments operator? A coach? Are player? How can we get better? What features and benefits can we get to you by leveraging our network?
