Minnesota’s largest grassroots boys basketball event of the spring returns to the Twin Cities this weekend. Battle at the Lakes will take place at several high school gyms throughout the metro area and feature nearly 550 AAU and all-star club teams with some of the top talent from across the Upper Midwest and Canada.

More than 100 teams are expected across seven age divisions (17-11), with standout players from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Canada set to compete. First hosted by Prep Hoops in 2017, Battle at the Lakes has quickly become the must-attend event for elite hoops talent each May.
