Veterans Day week is when the winter season really starts. The winter series openers tip off, high school teams get their first real preseason runs, and the Thanksgiving brackets are only two weekends away. If your team still has an open date before then, here is where to find a gym.

We pulled 17 events from the verified listings on the BallerTube events hub and rechecked every date on the organizer's own page on Friday morning. Divisions and fees are listed where the organizer posts them.
