Our First 3v3 Tournament! 🏀

What a weekend! We hosted our very first 3v3 tournament, bringing together local basketball teams for a day of competition, community and plenty of hoops!

This all started with one of our coaches coming to us with the idea of designing and creating a tournament for local teams to come and compete. We absolutely loved the idea and wanted to give them the opportunity to make it happen.

That’s what we love about our coaching team they don’t just coach. They come up with brilliant ideas, take initiative and look for ways to grow sport within our community. We are incredibly proud to be able to support them, give them the platform to try new things and watch those ideas grow.

A huge congratulations to Divine for putting together such a fantastic event and thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a great turnout! 👏
