About the Event

The All-American Championship takes place annually during the mens Division I collegiate basketball championship. Four teams representing each region of the country (North, South, East, and West) participate in a doubleheader format. Each of the four teams is coached by a head coach of a nationally-prominent high school program and assisted by a coach from the host city.

A panel of the foremost high school basketball experts in the nation comprise the All-American Championship selection committee.

National interest in high school basketball is at an all-time high, says Rick Giles, president of the Gazelle Group. The proliferation of television coverage, recruiting websites, and magazines have enabled fans to become more aware than ever of the premier high school players. With the nations focus on basketball during March and the first weekend of April, the All-American Championship provides these players with a showcase on the biggest stage in the country.

The 2012 All-American Championship was held in New Orleans, Louisiana. From the world-renowned French Quarter and Bourbon Street, to its many 19th century mansions, to its boutique stores and antique shops, to the best jazz in the world, New Orleans offers something for everyone. That is why New Orleans is ranked among the 10 most visited cities in the country. There is simply no other city like New Orleans. New Orleans tourist and convention industry is a $5.5 billion juggernaut. Roughly 350,000 people live in New Orleans and almost 500,000 people live in the metropolitan New Orleans area.
