Hoopsfix All-Star Classic confirmed for ninth year in 2023

The Hoopsfix All-Star Classic will return for its ninth edition with the 2023 event confirmed to take place on Sunday 28th May at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, in London.

Discounted early bird tickets are now on sale as the showcase of the top junior talent in British basketball sets to sell out Crystal Palace for the second consecutive year.

With Jordan Brand being the headline partner, the event is set to be bigger and better than ever before, along with support from Molten, 5or6 and Sportserve.

Two Under-19 games are on the schedule with the Under-19 women’s game at 1:30pm followed by the men’s game at 4:00pm, with both games seeing a mixture of Class of 2023 and Underclassmen suiting up, while players will also battle it out in a three-point shootout (1:00pm) and dunk contest (3:30pm).

“We’re excited for the 2023 edition of the Classic,” founder of Hoopsfix, Sam Neter said.

“Jordan are going to really help us take it up a notch, while we’ve got no doubt that the top under-19 talent in the UK will put on a show.”

Early-bird tickets – with up to 25% off general admission prices – are now available for the next two weeks, at £9 for adults and £7 for under-18s, with group discounts for batch purchases of more than 10.

The event is organised by the Hoopsfix Foundation, the not-for-profit arm of Hoopsfix.com, with any profits being ploughed back into the growth and development of the British game – in 2021 proceeds from the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic were used to help renovate Clapham Common basketball courts.

The rosters will be revealed in the coming weeks, along with further announcements.

Use the hashtag #HASC23 on all social media platforms to help spread the word, and be in with a chance of winning prizes around the event.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
