The Spark
Saturday, October 24th, 2026
Held at the Chase Fieldhouse in Wilmington, DE, BIC Spark is a one-day elite training & showcase experience built by Best In Class. It is for 8th grade women's athletes and serves as the "spark" to their high school journeys in their final year of middle school. This college-level environment includes the signature BIC development session and 3 games.
Our commitment is to provide a Best In Class experience - from the communication, to the coaching, to the uniforms, gameplay, social media and more - because that is what our athletes deserve.
The Spark also provides a direct evaluation opportunity to our Rising Freshman Best In Class event in the summer of 2027.
