The New River Community and Technical College (New River CTC) Invitational began as the New River CTC Shootout in January 2019 as a one-day event to showcase area high school boys basketball teams, provide financial support for participating high school athletic programs, and raise needed funds for student scholarships. Now in its fifth year, the event has expanded to five days of basketball and grown to include twenty-two area high school boys and girls teams.
New River CTC is honored to welcome Special Olympics athletes in support of the mission of Special Olympics to provide individuals with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to develop physical fitness and participate in sports training and competition. The Raleigh County and Fayette County Special Olympics teams will compete at the event.
