There are slight variations from program to program. Keys to a good rezball offensive play are sound fundamentals and being in very good condition. Many Native Americans adapted to basketball to bring them together with each other and is their way to overcome strife on the reservation. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rezball&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Apache" title="Apache">Apache</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pueblo" title="Pueblo">Pueblo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Navajo_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Navajo people">Navajo</a> tribes in northeastern <a href="/wiki/Arizona" title="Arizona">Arizona</a> and northwestern <a href="/wiki/New_Mexico" title="New Mexico">New Mexico</a> are home to several high schools. In these areas, basketball is very important. In Arizona, three of the top six largest crowds at a boys' basketball game are rezball games (regardless of school size), with one of the two games tied for the highest-ever attendance being a game between Apache and Navajo schools. </p><p>Arizona's Native American largest high school arenas are; The Nash Center (Kayenta, AZ) seats 3,800, The Warrior Pavilion (Tuba City, AZ) seats 4,518, the Ganado Pavilion (Burnside, AZ) seats 5,500, The Wildcat Den (Chinle, AZ) seats 7,510, and the <a href="/wiki/Bee_H%C3%B3%C5%82dzil_Fighting_Scouts_Events_Center" title="Bee Hółdzil Fighting Scouts Events Center">Bee Hółdzil Fighting Scouts Events Center</a> (Fort Defiance, AZ) seats about 6,532. These massive arenas draw large crowds from all around the Navajo Reservation. The border town teams for Arizona that are within the AIA 3A Division are Winslow, Holbrook and Page — which consists mainly of Native Americans.<sup id="cite_ref-Stephens_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Stephens-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some other examples of the intense following of basketball in this region were noted in February 2013 by a writer for <i>MaxPreps.com</i>, the high school arm of <i><a href="/wiki/CBSSports.com" title="CBSSports.com">CBSSports.com</a></i>. First, early in the month, the Wildcat Den hosted an <a href="/wiki/Arizona_Interscholastic_Association" title="Arizona Interscholastic Association">Arizona Interscholastic Association</a> (AIA) sectional tournament featuring four boys' and four girls' reservation teams. Even though neither Chinle High team participated in the sectional, more than 12,000 attended over the two-day event, with hundreds of fans arriving hours before the doors opened to get the best seats.<sup id="cite_ref-Stephens_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Stephens-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The scheduling of the AIA's state tournament later that month at the venue then known as <a href="/wiki/Gila_River_Arena" class="mw-redirect" title="Gila River Arena">Jobing.com Arena</a> in <a href="/wiki/Glendale,_Arizona" title="Glendale, Arizona">Glendale</a>, home to the <a href="/wiki/National_Hockey_League" title="National Hockey League">NHL's</a> <a href="/wiki/Arizona_Coyotes" title="Arizona Coyotes">Arizona Coyotes</a>, also reflected rezball influence. In most states that host multiple state championship games at one site, the last game scheduled is the boys' championship game in the largest enrollment class. Here, however, the marquee slot was reserved for the girls' title game in Class 3A (the state's largest schools are in Class 5A)—a classification that has traditionally been dominated by reservation schools.<sup id="cite_ref-Stephens_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Stephens-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>New Mexico has produced many high schools that are nationally ranked by the <a href="/wiki/National_Federation_of_State_High_School_Associations" title="National Federation of State High School Associations">National Federation of State High School Associations</a> (NFHS) according to the <a href="/wiki/New_Mexico_Activities_Association" title="New Mexico Activities Association">New Mexico Activities Association</a> (<a href="/wiki/New_Mexico_Activities_Association" title="New Mexico Activities Association">NMAA</a>)--for producing over 100 State Championships combined, from numerous high schools. New Mexico functions each year on building tradition in basketball for both boys and girls. The big gyms in New Mexico from the Native American high schools are the Bronco Arena at Kirtland Central High School (Kirtland, NM) seats over 4,000, the Chieftain Pit at Shiprock High School (Shiprock, NM) seats 3,100, and the Pueblo Pavilion Santa Fe Indian School (Santa Fe, NM) seats 4,500. Both Shiprock and Kirtland Central have a unique glass going around the court. The border town teams for New Mexico are Kirtland Central, Gallup, and Santa Fe Indian—which consists mainly of Native Americans. New Mexico is well known around the country for its power houses in girls basketball such as from Kirtland Central, Shiprock, Gallup, Santa Fe Indian, Navajo Prep and Navajo Pine. Kirtland Central's girls basketball program leads with the most state championships than any other Native American high school. Shiprock has also impacted girls basketball and being major rivals with Kirtland Central. Gallup girls basketball program has been one of the most power houses in New Mexico, playing at a fierce level among larger/competitive high schools in New Mexico. Santa Fe Indian girls program has produced some great talents in the recent years along with Navajo Prep and Navajo Pine both have risen to many achievements. The New Mexico high school state finals takes place at <a href="/wiki/The_Pit_(arena)" title="The Pit (arena)">The Pit</a> on the University of New Mexico campus, and has had major sell outs starting from the late 80's from games between Shiprock and Kirtland Central girls. Many Native American fans from Gallup, Shiprock, Kirtland Central, Laguna Acoma and Santa Fe Indian continue to fill The Pit every year. </p><p>While the Native American basketball phenomenon is most pronounced in the Four Corners region, it is not limited to that area. For example, when the girls' team from the reservation high school of the <a href="/wiki/Mississippi_Band_of_Choctaw_Indians" title="Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians">Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians</a> reached the final of the Class 3A state tournament in 2017 (which they won), about 5,000 fans traveled from the reservation to <a href="/wiki/Jackson,_Mississippi" title="Jackson, Mississippi">Jackson</a> for the game.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Native_American_Basketball_Invitational_(NABI)"><span id="Native_American_Basketball_Invitational_.28NABI.29"></span>Native American Basketball Invitational (NABI)</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rezball&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Native American Basketball Invitational (NABI)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Co-founded in 2003 by Mark West/former Phoenix Suns player, the late Scott Podleski/Arizona Rattlers and GinaMarie Scarpa/former Executive Director AC Green Youth Foundation (named for AC Green/NBA Iron Man).
