2026 North Tartan Summer Jam
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of one of the premier June basketball tournaments in the country, the 2026 Summer Jam will take place June 26-28, 2026. Widely regarded as one of the best—if not the best—June events nationwide, the Summer Jam continues to attract elite competition from across the United States. In 2025, over 450 teams competed in this incredible event, and we look forward to welcoming even more teams for another outstanding year of high-level basketball, competition, and memories in 2026.
2026 North Tartan Meltdown
The 2026 North Tartan Meltdown returns July 10–12, 2026, and will once again feature some of the best and toughest summer competition in the country. This event consistently attracts elite programs and high-level teams from across the nation, creating a competitive environment that challenges players and prepares them for the highest levels of play. Known for its physical, fast-paced games and championship-level atmosphere, the Meltdown has become a staple on the summer basketball calendar.
The tournament is NCAA Certified (pending approval) and is well attended by colleges and college coaches, making it an outstanding opportunity for student-athletes to compete, be evaluated, and gain exposure during a critical recruiting period. We look forward to welcoming teams, coaches, and families for another intense and memorable weekend of basketball.
We are proud to introduce a new partner who will be an unbelievable resource in helping build financial confidence and financial literacy for our athletes. This partnership aligns directly with our commitment to developing well-rounded individuals by equipping them with life skills that extend far beyond competition.
North Tartan Alumnus Hannah Forney of J.P. Morgan Wealth Management will assist athletes to establish a strong framework for financial success as they advance in their careers. JPMorgan Chase has also launched the Athletes Center for Excellence website—a free resource designed to support athletes at every stage of their journey. The site offers downloadable content, checklists, and articles to help athletes navigate everything from NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) opportunities, to transitioning into professional sports, and planning for life after their athletic careers.
Through this collaboration, our athletes will gain access to practical education, tools, and guidance designed to help them understand money, make informed financial decisions, and build confidence in managing their futures. These skills are essential—not just during their athletic careers, but throughout every stage of life.
We believe that empowering our athletes with financial knowledge is an investment in their long-term success. With the support of this new partner, we are expanding our impact and reinforcing our mission to prepare athletes for what comes next, wherever their paths may lead.
The game has changed and the North Tartan organization will always elevate to another level. If you wish to contact Hannah for more information, please click the link below.
