The San Bernardino Kiwanis Invitational Basketball tournament started in December 1958 under the joint sponsorship of the San Bernardino and East San Bernardino Kiwanis clubs. Later, this included the Kiwanis Club of Highland, Inc. The idea of holding a tournament during Christmas holidays was suggested by coaches who felt this would be a good way to keep their players from getting stale during the winter holiday layoff. In addition, the clubs believed that this activity would be beneficial to the community by making an activity available to youths who might be looking for some way to spend their time off the streets.
Originally, this was the only tournament played during this time period. Today, there are several tournaments with both boys’ and girls’ teams playing, but ours is the longest running tournament in the Inland Empire. A few players have gone on to play in the NBA.
Most of the teams that play are from the Inland Empire but a wide variety of visiting teams have come as far as Australia, British Columbia, Monterey, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Diego and El Paso.
The original venues were San Bernardino and Pacific High Schools. Later, the venues included Arroyo Valley, San Gorgonio, Cajon and Indian Springs High Schools. The tournament is a 16-team elimination day tournament. A CIF coordinator furnishes officials. Thus, this is a CIF sanctioned tournament.
Net profit from the tournament is always returned to community projects through the Charitable Foundation of the Kiwanis Club of San Bernardino and is not used in any way for administration.
On behalf of the Kiwanis Club of San Bernardino I would like to welcome you to the 66th Basketball Tournament. We extend our thanks and gratitude for your role in supporting the athletes and we congratulate all of the athletes on their abilities and willingness to serve as role models to their peers and to represent their schools with pride. We also thank the coaches for their generous gift of time in developing youth in our communities and building our future leaders.
A special thank you goes out to our many volunteers and sponsors who generously support this important event. Without your efforts this tournament would not be possible. We are so grateful to our host schools and their staff who continue to partner with Kiwanis to provide a venue for the tournament and who welcome us into their facilities with open arms and a heart for athletes. As always, the tournament year promises to be a fantastic display of the dedication and talents of these young athletes and the Kiwanis Club of San Bernardino remains thankful to be the catalyst of this important community event.

History
The San Bernardino Kiwanis Invitational Basketball tournament started in
December 1958 under the joint sponsorship of the San Bernardino and
East San Bernardino Kiwanis clubs. Later, this included the Kiwanis Club
of Highland, Inc. The idea of holding a tournament during Christmas
holidays was suggested by coaches who felt this would be a good way to
keep their players from getting stale during the winter holiday layoff. In
addition, the clubs believed that this activity would be beneficial to the
community by making an activity available to youths who might be looking
for some way to spend their time off the streets.
Originally, this was the only tournament played during this time period.
Today, there are several tournaments with both boys’ and girls’ teams
playing, but ours is the longest running tournament in the Inland Empire.
A few players have gone on to play in the NBA.
Most of the teams that play are from the Inland Empire but a wide variety
of visiting teams have come as far as Australia, British Columbia,
Monterey, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Diego and El Paso.
The original venues were San Bernardino and Pacific High Schools.
Later, the venues included Arroyo Valley, San Gorgonio, Cajon and
Indian Springs High Schools. The tournament is a 16-team elimination
day tournament. A CIF coordinator furnishes officials. Thus, this is a
CIF sanctioned tournament.
Net profit from the tournament is always returned to community
projects through the Charitable Foundation of the Kiwanis Club of San
Bernardino and is not used in any way for administration.
