Bringing a team to town? When it comes to team sporting events, Newport News is ready to play ball! Having hosted the National Senior Olympic Games (Tennis & Swimming), the National AAU Boys and Girls Basketball Tournaments, the week-long AAU Junior Olympic Games three times, and the annual Boo Williams Nike Invitational Basketball Tournament, the city offers a number of world-class venues and the expertise to make your next sporting event a hit!
With the abundance of indoor and outdoor sports venues found throughout Newport News, it should come as no surprise that the city has been repeatedly selected as the site for many major sporting events over the years. It has been part of a group of cities in Coastal Virginia that welcomed the National Senior Games, as well as prior and future AAU Junior Olympic Games. So, whether you're an organizer, spectator, or participant, we have the facilities and accommodations you need!
