Pioneer Valley Tip-Off
The Pioneer Valley Tip-Off is a student-run high school basketball showcase featuring some of the best talent in Central and Western Massachusetts! The Pioneer Valley Tip-Off was started in 2011 by Scott Moses '15 and Pat Sallet '15, both students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and continues to be entirely student-run today! The showcase is held annually on the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus, where we strive to create a professional environment for fans and players alike.
