The event is free for elementary and middle school children.  Participants who register will receive a t-shirt, basketball and first round tournament tickets for the children and their parents for the 2010 Sun Belt Conference Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament.  The first 300 participants to register are guaranteed a basketball, t-shirt and tickets.
