OUR PRINCIPLES
Be who you are and play the game that you love in a safe and welcoming environment.
Joining a team is very exciting but it can also be a little bit daunting: new players, new routine etc. To help give you the best start we’ve put together useful information about basketball competitions.
A nonjudgemental space where you can explore YOU and play ball.
A place where you will not be marginalized by your athletic ability and skill level.
Find lifelong friends in cities across the USA and the world.
Basketball is just an excuse for us to get together.
