I hate to curse on a Sunday, but this is one helluva tournament that you put on. OUTSTANDING in every regards. The website was constantly updated and kept us informed. The talent of the teams in our U15 class was extraordinary. You even had shuttles to and from the different facilities…. Nice touch.

In closing, let me just say, we love us some Toi Baylor tournaments. Keep up the good work.

I just wanted to thank you for allowing my son Kaleb Fitzgerald to participate in the east vs west game. It was so nice to have such great event within such a basketball friendly environment and I know how much work you put into making things just right. You had a great turnout and great media coverage…it was a great event due, largely, to your hospitality and I really appreciate you extending the invitation to my son.

On the behalf of our team, I want to thank you and the Baylor Youth Organization for managing last weekend’s AAU Super Regional. We appreciate all the effort it took for you to run the tourney. It was a wonderful learning experience for our kids on so many levels. It was nice to see the NWI region represented by several teams at all ages! Thank you again for hosting a great tournament this weekend! We had some challenging games and learned a lot! All in all a real positive experience for our kids. We hope to participate in future events, so thanks for keeping us posted!

Toi,
Thanks for the certificate. Again, thank you for hosting the Battle Of the Borders. The parents and players were both very impressed with the quality of the tournament. It was a pleasure to meet you.

I wanted to let you know we enjoyed the tournament last week even though we lost to a team we should have beat, looking forward to coming back. We are done traveling for this season but I am planning to attend at least 2-3 of your tournaments next season. Take care!

Thank You for your hospitality this weekend. We loved the tournament and was very thankful for you. A coach did speak with my son. What you are doing is a blessing and I want and hope to get to that point as I have been blessed with people stepping up to assist me especially when my father passed.

Just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for the GREAT tournament last weekend. It was the first time the New Lenox Pride came down to your tournament, but it won’t be the last! Everything was very well organized, and the complex was awesome. We thought we did very well for not being an AAU team and loved the great competition. Also, I must say, you had the best officiating that we have seen in a long time!

Our kids/parents/myself enjoyed April’s tournament so much, we look forward to this one. It was seamless in the organization of it all from the teams to the facilities. We look forward to seeing you next month.

Had a awesome weekend playing against high quality competition at the Battle of the Borders. Our 6th 7th and 8th grade took some much needed losses but wins for our program as we gained a lot of experience! Also learned that we are not far off from some of the top programs in the mid-west! You have to challenge yourself against the best if you want to be considered in that category. Mac Irving fire, Team Manimal, Team Prodigy, Indiana SYF, Chicago Game Time, just to name a few of the talented programs in the building this weekend! Look forward to future competition with all these programs as Select Few will be a household name as well!! Shout out to Toi Smith-Baylor for a well ran competitive tournament! We will be present for many more event! ‪#‎areyouselectfew‬

What a wonderful tournament! Our girls had a great experience went 4-1. Lost a great game to Arkansas Mav. They variety of teams and competition was nice and I like the one location venue not too big not too small.

I wanted to find out who was taking photos or videos? I saw a guy either taking photos or video through the games and wanted to see if I could reach out to see if our team has any photos or video footage?

Thank you in advance.

So I finally stopped crying from our bad loss on Sunday. We should have won the Nike Spring Showdown. I am glad that my boys played great vs. AAO. Got hella looks from College Coaches. Thank you for all that you do for us. My program will remain loyal for as long as you run tournaments.

Our organization couldn’t be more excited to come back and participate in the Chicago Summer Jam again after participating for the first time in the summer of 2015. Toi and her team run one of the most organized tournaments from top to bottom, and we love how all the facilities are in close proximity to one another. It is very easy for our organization to make the 7 hour drive from Minneapolis to the Chicago Summer Jam because we know that we get a chance to play against some of the best grassroots teams in the country while getting maximum exposure. This is an A+ event!
