2021 High School Throwball Off-Season Regionals

While TN Officials and the T-Division High School Sports Committee moves on from ending its deal with AAU, they have agreed to announce that high school exhibition games can be played up until the 2021 High School Off-Season Regionals which at this point will be played August 2-16. Due to TN and AAU ending their agreement talks have begun that they would move the regionals a month up to July 5-19. Both announcements/rules would be confirmed at the 2021 TN Spring Meetings from May 1-8.

AAU Throwball Director John McGee and the TN Officials have ended AAU throwball due to continuing disputes regarding the ongoing pandemic and the future of the game. After the 2021 AAU Episcopal Major Spring Break High School Tournament was cancelled due to the disputes, no decision could be made. The future off offseason high school throwball is unclear at this point other than Off-Season High School Regionals, which are always set for August. Thus, tournaments sponsored by AAU are cancelled in Syracuse, Los Angeles, Naples, and Spring Lake. (Note: Throwball News or “TN” is the governing body of throwball, owns the TV rights to everything, and is a blog for anyone wondering). New TN Officials will be voted on following the TN Spring Meetings in the middle of May.

After winning a second consecutive national championship with Episcopal Collegiate following his transfer from Bentonville, top rated sophomore MJ Monk has announced he will not play AAU ball this spring and summer and will instead prepare for August’s off-season regionals. The shooting guard led the wildcats in scoring with 17.3 goals per game. Monk is ranked number one in the 2023 TN 25.
