*AUGUST 4th* NCHBC 2026: 🏀 Updates, Key Changes, and Registration


Midwest Championships: New Dates-

  • Midwest: Due to an unforeseen facility double-booking, we will move 1 day earlier, Wednesday, February 25th, through Friday, February 27th. This change allows us to use all 16 courts for all three days, which will significantly improve the tournament experience. The new schedule means no games on Wednesday before noon, most teams won’t play until after 4:00 PM. More details: CLICK HERE

Auxiliary Facility Change for Big South- 

  • Big South: We’ve had to secure a new auxiliary facility for the Big South due to our previously used Grapevine venue becoming a volleyball-only facility. More details: CLICK HERE

Saturday Shift for Heartland- 

  • Heartland: Following feedback from last year’s event, we will not be returning to the HYVEE Arena. The goal is to hold championship games on a single court on Saturday, which we will announce as soon as it’s finalized. More details: CLICK HERE

Districts – $10 Player Fee & Key Facility Changes-

  • Districts: To offset increased facility costs in our districts, a $10 Player Fee will be added for all district participants. This is the only change to the overall NCHBC fee structure. A couple of districts do have new facilities to note. District Dates & Location: CLICK HERE
