About the Surf 'N Slam
For the last 32 years, the Surf ‘N Slam Hoop Classic has attracted Girl’s and Boy’s high school programs from all over the country. With beautiful scenery and great competition, hundreds of teams and coaches have spent the last week of December with us creating memorable experiences on and off the court.
San Diego, the annual site of the Surf ‘N Slam Hoop Classic, is a fantastic tourist destination and a great place to take your team for the holidays. There are 70 miles of sandy beaches, warm sunshine, the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, and many other exciting sights. It is all there waiting for your team to explore when you’re not playing hoops!
