Two great days of Metro Sports Television play by play broadcasts tape delayed. Plus two great days of 610 Sports Radio live show interviews and updates. No other NCAA certified July tournaments have as much extensive radio and television coverage all designed for the enjoyment of participants, parents, and fans.
Why Attend
Metro Sports Television play by play broadcast and college coach's interviews taped delayed. This was so popular at last year's late July tournament Metro Sports has added the early event. Tournament participants truly enjoy the opportunity of professional television production for selected games.
610 Sports Radio live 3-4 hour daily courtside broadcast including college coach's interviews and comments (a big part of this tournament for the 5th consecutive year). Always a fan favorite and only found exclusively on 610 Sports!!
College Coaches
Metro Sports Television play by play broadcast and college coach's interviews taped delayed for selected games. A tournament highlight feature returning for the 2nd year - the players love being on television with multi-camera coverage. Metro Sports is the leader in high school, college and professional sports coverage. Please check Time Warner availability in other cities throughout the USA for both these July 2011 tournaments.
Price Chopper Food stores have been a sponsor/contributor of these tournaments for 10 years with large participation in many Kansas City metro events.
