Kentucky and southern Indiana have a rich tradition of summer basketball, with neighborhood tournaments and leagues known as Dirt or Dust Bowls at their heart. Lexington and Louisville stand as testaments to this legacy, boasting the second and third oldest outdoor leagues in the nation respectively. These iconic competitions have served as breeding grounds for countless NBA and streetball stars.

To determine the ultimate Dirt Bowl champion, we created the Dirty Bowl Classic. This high-stakes tournament features top teams from across the region, competing in a rigorous format that culminates in a single-elimination championship. Since its inception, the Dirty Bowl Classic has grown exponentially, expanding beyond Kentucky to include Indiana and Tennessee.

We’re always on the lookout for exceptional leagues and tournaments to join our growing family. Are you ready to make your mark on the Dirt Bowl Classic? Contact us to explore the possibilities of sanctioning your league.
