What are people saying about B2B?

“When I arrived it was a pleasure to see so many happy faces and there was a great buzz around the place. The high participation rate, your team's enthusiasm and organization, the visiting agencies, the DJ/MC and the standard of play all contributed to a really positive event”
Andy Garside Director of Specialism Ernest Bevin College

“I believe that the B2B project is an ideal way to engage more young people from a variety of backgrounds to take part in a greater number of meaningful and high quality sporting sessions and competitions.

I would also like to see the programme expand around London including other areas of our borough Wandsworth, as it compliments the work that is already being carried out in secondary school basketball and will help provide more opportunities and pathways for students to compete in formal and informal competition”
Adam Taylor School Sport Coordinator, Wandsworth School Sport Partnership Southfields Community College

“Joseph's passion and professionalism towards Basketball was evident in the U15 B2B tournament that he ran at Harris academy. I would be very grateful to see Joseph run more of these events. I feel it gives our students a positive outlet for their energy, gives them the opportunity to build relationships with other like-minded students in other boroughs and offers a good alternative to the streets”

We entered 5 teams and all the pupils also gave really positive feedback and not only because we won the under 15's category.
