Havre’s Nothin' but Net is committed to hosting a quality fun event for the youth of Havre and the Hi-Line.  With the efforts of a dedicated committee and the willingness and enthusiasm of many community volunteers, Nothin' but Net creates an activity to showcase your talent and sportsmanship, and to have fun.

Havre’s Nothin' but Net is under the non-profit status of the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce.

We invite you to have fun while playing hard and fair; to make a memory regardless of the outcome, to be your best and be proud; to respect your teammates as well as your opponents; to appreciate the time given by all of the volunteers, scorekeepers and referees, to make this day a great experience.

Havre’s Nothin' but Net tournament is designed with the youth of our area in mind.  Male and females entering grades 4-12, with or without experience are welcome to participate.

Teams are computer bracketed into male-female divisions by entering grades.  Teams are guaranteed 3 scheduled games.  The Havre Nothin' but Net is a pool play competition in the morning, which brackets the teams within the grade divisions for single elimination play in the afternoon.

Nothin' but Net provides scorekeepers at each court along with many MOA officials volunteering to call the game.

Registration:

Registration forms with full payment must be completely filled out and signed by all parents/guardians having participants and returned to the Chamber by July 19 to be registered at the $55.00 team price.  Registration between July 21 and July 25 will have the entry fee of $65.00.  NO registrations will be accepted July 26, the day of the tournament.

Each team needs 4 team players all in the same grade bracket; in the Mixed group grades 4-6 there must be 1 girl on the court at all times.  A participant will be allowed to participate on only one team for the duration of the tournament.  All games must begin with 3 players on the court for each team.  Any team with less than 3 players available at the start of the game will forfeit that game and it will be recorded as a loss in pool play.
