About Us
Ignite D3 Events is designed to fill a significant gap for over 800 NCAA Division III men's and women's basketball teams lacking robust travel budgets, NIL opportunities, and access to large-scale destination events. These programs are constrained by academic obligations and limited resources, leaving few viable options for meaningful non-conference travel experiences.
​
​Founded by a former Division III player and coach with 35+ years of experience, Ignite D3 Events is built on deep industry relationships and firsthand understanding of what programs need. The tournaments emphasize fairness, quality service, and professionalism-run by coaches, for coaches. The goal is to create lifetime memories, high-value experiences, and cost-effective packages that teams can justify within tight athletic department budgets.

Our Mission
Less than 15% of institutions participate in NCAA-approved international trips within a three-year cycle. These trips require extensive planning by coaches—time that could be more effectively spent on player development and team preparation.
Ignite D3 Events offers an affordable, well-organized alternative right here in the U.S., with a focus on player experience, competitive matchups, and coach-friendly logistics.
