Foot Locker has officially announced its upcoming Home Court: London tournament, in collaboration with Jordan Brand.
Taking place on 19th July at Clapham Common Court, Home Court: London will bring together some of the best local basketball teams to battle it out to be crowned champions.
Eight male and four female teams will take to Clapham Common Court – refurbed by Foot Locker in 2021 – for a straight knockout tournament of traditional 5v5 games, with the winners taking home a Foot Locker in-store shopping experience, including £500 store credit for every player.
Alongside the tournament, players and up and coming talent can get involved with coaching masterclasses, basketball clinics from local coaches, as well as hoop challenges and a three-point contest to win prizes throughout the day.
For those wanting to just spectate, Crep Protect will be on court offering free sneaker cleaning, as well as arcade games with prizes such as free sneakers, vouchers, and other perks all up for grabs. Lostboys Channel will also be on court curating a stellar line-up of DJs to soundtrack the day and some of the best local food and drink spots will be serving up courtside.
Neil Carter, VP GEO: UK & Ireland, said: “Home Court: London is an incredibly exciting moment for basketball culture within the UK, as we look to showcase some of the best grassroots talent we have to offer. Basketball has always been at the heart of what we do as a brand, so being able to host this tournament for our community, especially at our Clapham Common Court, is hugely exciting. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to watch some high-quality basketball and, hopefully, inspire the next generation of players to take to the court.”
Home Court: London take places 12-6pm on Saturday 19th July at Clapham Common Court, with entry available on a first-come-first-served basis throughout the day.
