Hey,

We're less than 10 days away from the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic - cue the madness!

This week's 3-pointer:

🌱 Basketball Development & Coaching Conference announced

I think one of the major keys to improving and growing the game here, is training and upskilling the workforce. That is why we've expanded our usual coaching conference this year, retaining the coaching element, but adding in other topics, this years that is content, facilities, and club membership growth. We've got a world class line up that I believe will help clubs, operators, event organisers and more to improve what they are doing - would love to see you there; get your tickets now!

🚌 Coaching staff revealed

Matt Pitkin and Lee Davie will go head-to-head in the Under-19 Women’s game, while Andre Lockhart and Adam Davies will face off in the Under-19 Men’s game the weekend after next at the Classic. Each of them have picked their own assistant and will no doubt do a great job.

🏆 BBL & WBBL Playoff Finals to end the season

It will be the last domestic competition to finish its season this weekend, as the British Basketball League and Women's British Basketball League head to the O2 for the Playoff Finals. Cheshire and London will meet in the men's finals (some words from Aaryn Rai here), while Newcastle and London will meet in the women's finals. Still time to get your tickets - here! Will see you there...

That wraps up another drop, as always hit reply with any thoughts questions or anything else.

With gratitude,

Sam
