NV Ultimate is proud to announce the 2016 Neuqua Knockout Tournament! This tournament is for high school and middle school Ultimate teams and will be held in Joliet, IL at a great complex! We are excited playing at a new facility that recently opened that is close to the highway and extremely easy to get to! There will be up to 80 teams at this tournament and with 64 teams coming last year in our first year, we expect this tournament to sell out! Also, the fields hold up very well in weather and they also drain extremely well. Thus there is VERY little chance this tournament will be canceled due to weather. We hope to see many teams from around the country come to our tournament. We are also working on getting some special rates at many of the hotels in the area. Plus we offer housing to teams that need a place to stay. Basically, we have everything you can ask for in a tournament!
