A reformatted, one-day clinic packed with elite speakers, a Bradley men's practice, and a provided meal — built for you and your entire staff.
Coaches, mark your calendars.
The Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) is bringing back its annual statewide coaching clinic in a reformatted, one-day experience — and it's coming to Bradley University on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
This year's clinic is built around a simple promise: pack a full day with the speakers, ideas, and on-court access that move your program forward, and make it easy enough to bring your entire staff with you.

What's on the agenda
The 2026 clinic blends classroom-style sessions, an on-court look at a Division I program, and built-in time to connect with peers from across Illinois.
• A live Bradley men's basketball practice / workout, giving attendees a behind-the-scenes look at how a Division I staff operates on the floor.
• A loaded slate of speakers presenting actionable offensive, defensive, player development, and program-building content.
• A meal provided on site, so coaches can keep the conversations going without ever leaving the clinic.
• Ample time built in for networking with fellow coaches from across the state.
Why this clinic, why now?
The IBCA Clinic Committee redesigned this year's format with a single goal in mind: deliver maximum value in a single day. One drive. One day off away. One full-staff development experience.
Whether you're a head coach mapping out the season, an assistant sharpening your specialty, or a young coach trying to grow your network, the 2026 clinic is built to send you home with concrete ideas you can install on right away.
