Super Fest - Basketball is an inclusive basketball clinic and scrimmage experience held the day before the WNBA All Star Game. Super Fest's purpose is to showcase inclusion and provide an opportunity for youth of ALL abilities, including those with developmental disabilities, to participate together with their peers, be genuinely welcomed and made to feel a part of the festive weekend. The skills based clinic culminates in a scrimmage opportunity. 

2024 marks the 3rd consecutive year we have held a Super Fest Basketball and 10 years of Super Fest - Football & Cheer.

Coaching has historically been led by WNBA stars and alumni, collegiate basketball coaches and players, and a NBA player.
