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. 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. The 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.
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 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.
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.
