What to know
Southeast Kickoff runs April 2 to 4, 2027, Friday through Sunday, at Kemba Walker Sports Academy, 24 Spring St SW in Concord, NC 28025. Entry is $550 per team with 4 games guaranteed for girls 10U-17U.
The housing text cuts two ways. The page says teams "can book their hotels through Prep Network's SaveAndPlay" and that teams traveling more than 90+ miles "will be required to book a minimum of 8 reservations for the weekend." Prep Network's housing policy says SaveAndPlay is optional for non-marquee events, with no distance rules.
The event is not on the policy's marquee list, so we rate it unclear and show both readings side by side.
Count on 2 nights at the minimum, our calculation. Cabarrus Inn is the closest listed hotel at 7 minutes by car (3.2 miles), followed by Rodeway Inn and Quality Inn Concord Kannapolis at 8.
