What to know
Spring Kick Off runs April 2 to 4, 2027, Friday to Sunday, at two Denver-area fieldhouses: Gold Crown Fieldhouse, 150 S Harlan St in Lakewood, CO 80226, and BoomTown Fieldhouse, 14200 E Alameda Ave in Aurora, CO 80012. Entry is $650 per team with 4 games guaranteed for boys 10U-17U.
The host page tags this a 2027 marquee event and says teams are "required to book lodging through Prep Network’s SaveAndPlay platform." The 8-room minimum applies to teams traveling more than 90 miles and covers the whole weekend.
A hotel booked on a third-party site, direct with the hotel or with reward points does not count; it needs an opt-out form that Prep Network approves or denies. The policy states no fee for the form. Anything denied goes back to SaveAndPlay at $10 a night.
For Lakewood, CO, 8 rooms over 2 nights comes to 16 room-nights, our calculation. Our list for Gold Crown has 12 lodging options, and the nearest, Panorama Motel, is 4 minutes by car. Both gyms list 10U to 17U; the page does not say which teams play where.
