The Pioneer Valley Tip-Off Classic Presented by Oak View Group is a student-run high school basketball showcase featuring some of the best talent in the Pioneer Valley! The PVTO was started in 2011 by Scott Moses '15 and Pat Sallet '15, both students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and it continues to be entirely student-run by the McCormack Student Leaders Club today. The 2026 PVTO will be held on December 18th and 20th in the Mullins Center on the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus. We strive to create a professional environment for fans and viewers alike while fostering a fierce but healthy level of competitive matchups.​​
