Spring Reign is the largest youth tournament in the world, held in Burlington, WA. It is a standalone event, separate from our other seasons. It is not required that BIU players attend, but it is highly recommended because it is so much fun! We generally hold informal practices for the 6-8 weeks leading up to tournament weekend.
