Join us at H-Town Throw Down: Home of The Novice Invitational
​​
Last year, we announced our new name, H-Town Throw Down, after 40 years of Novice Invitational. While our name is new, we still honor the roots and believe in the mission that Novice Invitational has left in our hearts - celebrating the Novice division.
​
We hope you will join us in Houston, TX in 2026 to continue that celebration and so much more!
