Slam Dunk to the Beach winter basketball tournament on 2024 hiatus

LEWES, Del. - Slam Dunk to the Beach, the annual gathering of elite high school basketball players and teams at Cape Henlopen High School during Christmas break, will not take place in 2024. Slam Dunk to the Beach organizers from the Delaware Sports Commission announced what they are calling "a temporary hiatus" on Friday.

"As the elite high school basketball landscape continues to evolve, we thought it would be prudent to take a step back and evaluate how best to continue supporting and promoting the event moving into the future," stated Dr. Matthew Robinson, chairman of the sports commission. "When we relaunched the event in 2014 we made two important promises: one, to offer the highest quality of high school basketball for our fans, and two, we wanted to be fiscally responsible in that we would pay our vendors and meet our obligations to our sponsors."
