Middle (Div B) and High (Div C) School
Divisions B and C are VASO's flagship programs. VASO holds regional qualifying tournaments open to all registered teams in Virginia. The State Tournament, held after all of the regionals have been completed, is open to the highest scoring teams at the regional tournaments. The State winners in each division are then invited to the national tournament in May.
Coaches & Potential Coaches - Please take just a minute to fill out the interest form so you will receive timely updates as the season begins.
2025-26 Season
The 2024-25 VASO season is complete and we wish our States representatives (Longfellow MS and Cooper MS in Division B and TJHSST and C.G. Woodson
HS in Division C) the best of luck as they represent Virginia at the National tournament in Nebraska over Memorial Day weekend.
VASO is excited about the 2025-2026 tournament season! We are already working on securing tournament locations and dates for the 2026 tournaments. We will announce them in the fall. The National rules manual will be available on Sept 2.
Registration won't open until the end of September, but please make sure you are on our email list by filling out the interest form. The interest form doesn't commit your school to anything - it just ensures that we can keep you up to date as information becomes available.
