Cruzin Classic
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Our most unique event, the Cruzin Classic, takes place just prior to the Christmas holiday each year and features several nights in beautiful Fort Lauderdale and an optional Carnival Cruise to Bahamas!
The Cruzin Classic was created in an attempt to offer an exotic trip, but yet remain affordable for college programs. This trip falls between a straight-trip to central Florida and a trip to Hawaii - both in exotic appeal and cost.
NOTE: Teams are not required to participate in the cruise. If you wish to return home after the games, that is permissible.
The event is open to NCAA Division II & III institutions, as well as NAIA programs. Like all of our basketball events, the Cruzin Classic is open to men's and women's teams.
All NCAA programs that are considering the Cruzin Classic should contact us immediately for an explanation regarding NCAA compliance issues related to the cruises.
We are currently booking the following future tournament dates:
2009
• December 14-21, 2009
• December 17 - 24, 2009 (This itinerary will consist of a four-day cruise, likely resulting in slightly higher costs)

• December 17-24, 2010
For those teams that choose NOT to do the cruise, dates of travel and game dates are very flexible. Please contact us for specific date information.
