A PREMIER TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
Presented by: Westlake High School
The purpose of this event is not only to play games, but to raise awareness and
offer help for young female athletes battling mental health.
This event began in November 2012 as the BeYOUtiful Classic with just 8 teams. Each year brought new growth to our tournament, and in November 2019, we hosted 32 teams in what has become the kick-off event for girls basketball in central Texas. READ MORE

Message from Eanes ISD Superintendant
Welcome to the BeYOUtiful Basketball Classic where it’s not just about the layups, bounce passes and blocked shots; it's about celebrating the unique attributes of each player. Embrace your individuality, show off your skills and let your true self shine on the court. May this tournament be a reminder that beauty comes in all forms and basketball brings us together, no matter our differences. I hope you play with heart, determination and personal style. Enjoy being yourself in the game of life and being your best in the game of basketball.

TESTIMONIALS
The BeYOUtiful Classic hosted by Coach Vickie Benson and Westlake High School has been amazing and fun experience for many years. We look forward to this tournament to prepare us for the upcoming season. In addition, Coach Benson uses the tournament in a unique way to acknowledge mental health issues not only for athletes, but societal youth as a whole. As a nearby community, we admire and appreciate this time and ability to compete with some of the best teams in the state AND shine a light on issues among the youth of today. We are thankful for the vision and hard work that has gone into this event.

"The BeYOUtiful Classic represents so much more than a fantastic early season event for these teams to compete. Coach Benson has built it into a unique opportunity for these student-athletes that empowers the girls with experiences and education. It now draws some of top teams in the state and they all leave enriched both on and off the court."

“We have been competing in the Tournament since before it was a girls-only tournament. Coach Benson has worked tirelessly to expand the tournament while using it as a platform to address social challenges of today’s youth. The BeYOUtiful Classic has become a player-favorite for all of Central Texas and has become one of the premiere tournaments in the state!”
