About the Event

WHERE THE BEST
COME TO COMPETE

The Chris Brickley Invitational is not your typical All-American game. Founded by world-renowned NBA skills coach Chris Brickley, this event brings together the nation's top high school basketball talent — regardless of class year — for a complete elite development experience that goes far beyond the court.

Players receive individual workouts with Brickley himself, recovery science from Therabody's founder Dr. Jason Wersland, sleep education from Dr. Kristen Holmes, and custom Bose gear made exclusively for the event. Past participants include Cooper Flagg, Ian Jackson, Elliot Cadeau, and many more who have gone on to become some of basketball's most talked-about prospects.

"My love for high school is why I started the Brickley Invitational. The most fun is when you start working out with a kid when they are young. That's the most fulfilling."

The Brickley Invitational is more than a game — it's a complete elite development experience. From personal training to recovery science, every detail is designed to elevate the next generation.

01

INDIVIDUAL WORKOUTS

Train with Chris Brickley

Every player — boys and girls — goes through personal, individual workout sessions with Chris Brickley himself. This isn't a typical All-American game. Players receive elite-level skills training from one of the most sought-after coaches in basketball before they ever step on the court for the game.

02

THE ALL-AMERICAN GAMES

Boys & Girls

The culmination of the experience: the Boys and Girls All-American Games. The nation's top high school talent, regardless of class year, takes the court at 167 Green Street Gym in Chicago for one unforgettable night of elite basketball competition.

03

GIRLS GAME DIRECTOR

Katie Fudd

The girls' game is led by Katie Fudd — mother of UConn basketball star Azzi Fudd. Katie brings her deep knowledge of women's basketball and player development to ensure the girls' side of the Brickley Invitational receives the same elite-level attention and platform as the boys' game.

04

THERABODY RECOVERY

Led by Dr. Jason Wersland

Dr. J, the founder and owner of Therabody, personally leads a recovery seminar for all participants. Players receive hands-on recovery treatments using Therabody's full product lineup throughout the entire event — giving them access to the same recovery technology used by the world's top professional athletes.

05

SLEEP SCIENCE

Dr. Kristen Holmes

Sleep specialist Dr. Kristen Holmes educates players on the science of rest and recovery. Understanding how sleep impacts performance is a game-changer for young athletes, and the Brickley Invitational is one of the only events that invests in this level of holistic player development.

06

CUSTOM BOSE GEAR

Made for the Invitational

Bose creates custom speakers and headphones designed specifically for the Chris Brickley Invitational and its players. Every participant receives exclusive Bose products that you can't get anywhere else — a signature piece of the Brickley Invitational experience.

Engraved with "The Chris Brickley Invitational" and "Bose," each trophy is a unique work of art that the MVP takes home — a permanent symbol of their performance on one of basketball's biggest stages.
