Hackney White Heat are hosting a ‘3-on-3’ basketball tournament for men, women and children on Saturday, July 28.

There are three competitions on the day – senior men, senior women and a mixed gender under-17s.

The entry fee for the tournament is just �15 per team, with a maximum of four players on each side.

As well as the basketball, there will also be cash prizes, games, competitions, doughnuts and much more for all players, spectators and families.
