Super Fest - Basketball is an inclusive basketball clinic and scrimmage experience held the day before the Women's Basketball All Star Game in Chicago. 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. 

After seven successful years of Super Fest - Football during the Big Game weekend, we are thrilled to be branching out to provide a basketball opportunity during the Best of the Best women's basketball weekend.

Coaching led by WNBA stars and alumni, Doug Bruno, Women's Basketball Head Coach, Depaul University, ESPN's Debbie Antonelli, and the Univ of Illinois @ Chicago Women's Basketball team!
