Hoopsfix All-Star Classic Basketball Development Conference - #HASC25

The Hoopsfix All-Star Classic Conference returns for its fifth year, continuing its evolution from a traditional coaching clinic into a full-scale basketball development event.

This isn't just about Xs and Os - it's about growing the game from the ground up, both on the court and behind the scenes.

Taking place on Saturday 24th May at Crystal Palace, the conference will feature six expert practitioners delivering sessions designed to support coaches, clubs, and programme leaders in every aspect of development.

On-court insights will come from Lloyd Gardner (Surrey 89ers), Florian Flabb (Ratiopharm Ulm), and Polat Kaya (London Lions) , while off-court expertise will be shared by Karl Youngman (Sussex Storm), Kate Lewis (North West Region), and Tony Lazare (London Basketball Association).

Whether you're looking to enhance your coaching, scale your club’s impact, or unlock new funding opportunities, this event is your chance to learn from the best and connect with like-minded leaders.

There will light refreshments provided along with opportunities for networking.
