About NIT

Every year in the month of February, the sound of squeaky shoes and sticks fills the air at the National Indoor Tournament (NIT). This annual tournament is held at various locations to accommodate the large number of athletes that participate. This year's event includes U-10 Co-Ed, U-12 Co-Ed, U-14 Girls, U-16 Girls and U-19 Girls divisions.

The NIT dates back to the late 1990s, with hundreds of teams participating in recent years at Spooky Nooks Sports in Lancaster, Pa. and the Greater Richmond Convention Center in Richmond, Va.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, only 25 spectators per court will be allowed at both Spooky Nook Sports in Lancaster, Pa. and the Greater Richmond Convention Center in Richmond, Va. Each participating athlete will receive one (1) spectator wristband. 

Spooky Nook Sports has been the host of the National Indoor Tournament since 2014. Located just outside of Lancaster, Pa., Spooky Nook Sports is the largest indoor sports complex in the United States, providing regulation courts and playing fields for more than a dozen sports under one roof. In addition to the 700,000-square-foot indoor facility, The Nook offers an outdoor field hockey pitch and a climate controlled dome used for field hockey, soccer, football, and more. The Nook is the premier destination for clubs, tournaments and competitions. Make it an overnight experience and stay at the Warehouse Hotel located within Spooky Nook Sports.

The Greater Richmond Convention Center (GRCC) is the largest exhibition and meeting facility in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The GRCC - an impressive 700,000-square-foot, multi-purpose complex centrally located in Virginia’s capital - is one of the most desirable destinations in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The GRCC is situated within a 500-mile radius of more than half of the U. S. population. The Richmond region is considered a drive-to market along Interstate 95 but also is easily accessible by bus, rail and the Richmond International Airport, which is a 10-minute drive from downtown.

With 178,158 square feet of contiguous exhibit space, a 30,550 square-foot Grand Ballroom and 50,000 square feet of additional meeting/banquet space, the GRCC is well-positioned to host a variety of events from small meetings to large trade shows and conventions.

The convention center’s 411-space parking deck is attached to the facility. There are 10,039 parking spaces available within a six-block radius of the GRCC.
