ALL IN SOUTH
COAST CLASSIC
MAY 2ND - 3RD 2026
Our Story
Starting out as a 5 on 5 1 day outdoor tournament back in 2017, the South Coast Summer Classic as it was originally named has since grown massively. It was created to bring the South Coast Basketball community together before heading off to their National league team duties. It brought not only the best players from around the South Coast but also allowed teams to integrate and build relationships off the court.
Fast forward to now and we are moving from Solent Sports Complex to Places Leisure to host to our 2 day weekend tournament for both men and women. Every team that enters receives a Tournament T Shirt as well as an invite to the Saturday evening social event at Sharkeys Sports Bar. This allows the teams to socialise off the court. The event is built on a positive but competitve tournament showcasing some of the best talent from around the country.
