FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 
What time should I arrive? Do I need to bring my own basketball?
Check-in will take place from TBA to TBA at TBA. Registered participants do not need to bring a personal basketball, as each registered Bounce participant will receive a FREE basketball, courtesy of the NCAA and Wilson.
 
Can a Bounce participant (“Bouncer”) register and attend the NCAA without a parent/guardian?
We ask that all Bouncers aged 12 and under be accompanied by a parent/guardian on the route. If participating in a group, one representative of a parent/guardian will suffice for a group of children. Waivers for EACH PARTICIPANT, (including chaperones, accompanying adult, patrons, etc.) should be completed during registration. If you did not complete a waiver during online registration, you must do so on-site.
 
How do I register a group of Bounce participants?
If you want to register more than one child in the Bounce (i.e. siblings), the online registration page gives you the option to add participants. Choose “participate as an individual” and choose the number of children you would like to register. You are able to register up to 10 participants at one time. During the registration process, a parent or legal guardian must provide required information for ALL participants. Additionally, legal guardians must approve a waiver form for each participant. 
 
Is a parent/guardian allowed to register their child if the child is not present during on-site registration?
Yes. All event day registration protocol must be fulfilled, but the participant does not need to be present.
 
Do I need to register other adults attending with my child?
Only children 18 and under need to be pre-registered online. Young children and other friends/family who are not registered are welcome to attend and support the registered participants by lining the route to cheer on those in the Bounce. Please note: Free basketballs and t-shirts will only be provided to the first 2,500 youth participants.
 
When is a Bounce participant’s age determined?
All ages are determined as of event day. Therefore, all children ages 18 years and younger as of April 5, 2025, are eligible to participate in the NCAA Bounce.
 
If more than 2,500 participants are registered, can I still participate in the NCAA Bounce?
If the maximum number of 2,500 participants is exceeded, you are more than welcome to bring your own basketball and walk the NCAA Bounce route. A waiver will still need to be completed on-site by all participants.
 
Where are the start and finish lines located?
The start line is at TBA. The finish line is at Tourney Town, located at TBA.
 
Where will I meet my Bounce participant at the end of the route?
Parents/guardians are encouraged to walk the route with their Bouncer(s). All Bouncers younger than 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. If you get separated or do not walk with your Bouncer, you can meet them in the Parent Pick-Up area near the finish line.
 
Are pets and/or strollers allowed during the NCAA Bounce?
Yes. Service animals and strollers are allowed in the NCAA Bounce.
 
What is Tourney Town presented by Capital One and how much does it cost?

Visitors will enjoy entertainment, celebrity appearances, concerts, food, licensed merchandise, exhibits, games, and interactive displays FREE of charge.  For more information on Tourney Town, Click Here.
 
Will the NCAA Bounce be canceled for inclement weather?
