College All-Star Weekend is all set for its inauguration, focusing on showcasing the best collegiate basketball players and including entertainment and activities for college students across the country. The Men's and Women's All-Star Games will be the centerpiece of College All-Star Weekend, a college festival that is scheduled to take place every year in April following the conclusion of the College Basketball Season. The festival offers an exciting program of athletic events, student-focused activities, and a range of community-driven events.
College All-Star Weekend'25 will take place in Central Florida April 25 & 26. In the inaugural year, College All-Star Weekend will focus on the Men’s All-Star Game and the College All-Star Weekend Kickoff. This first year will provide the groundwork for a more extensive festival in the following years. The All-Star Game will showcase elite athletes from colleges and universities in the State of Florida. The College All-Star Weekend Kickoff will be held at The Block in Downtown Orlando and The Men’s All-Star Game will be held at the Kissimmee Civic Center in Kissimmee, Florida. The All-Star Game will showcase elite athletes from colleges and universities in the State of Florida.
Like the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, which showcases the top talent in college football, College All-Star Weekend aims to highlight the best in college basketball. Drawing inspiration from successful All-Star basketball events at the high school and professional levels, College All-Star Weekend seeks to bridge the gap and provide a premier stage for elite college talent. The organizers recognize that attracting the top players may take time, but they are committed to a steady, strategic approach, progressing one step at a time, year by year. Players for each team are selected by a Draft process. Players who exhaust their collegiate eligibility at end of the current playing season are eligible to declare for the College All-Star Weekend All-Star Draft. Players are selected by the coaching staff of both respective teams based on their career performance, accomplishments, and potential. The College All-Star Weekend Athletic Events will not only commemorate the best College basketball players but also provide them with the opportunity to land NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals.
In the future, College All-Star Weekend hopes to establish itself as a must-attend yearly occasion for students and college sports lovers. Among the anticipated additions are:
Athletic Events: Women’s All-Star Game, Player Camps, Pro Combine, JUCO Combine, Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest, Dunk Contest and a Celebrity Basketball Game.
Weekend's events: Fan Fest, Student Fest, 4-Year College Recruiting Event for Community College Students, and a Career Fair.
