In sports and in life, CONNECTION is as important as everything else put together.
When we believe that control is the only way to stay safe or escape a trap, it's easy to fall into the mindset that we need to achieve perfect alignment, with each element working together seamlessly. However, this perspective restricts everyone involved to merely the sum of their individual contributions.
We provide an immersive experience of being part of something that is greater than the sum of the parts. To embody a **Gestalt of connection**.
We don’t access a Gestalt by following instructions. We achieve this level of connection by observing and copying those in the Gestalt we wish to join, and processing the entirety of the experience so that we embody the Gestalt. It is easier to access a Gestalt when someone is shaping it for us.
HOW TO SHAPE A GESTALT - think Steph Curry and Antoine Dupont
1. Clarity. Ensure that the next move is apparent to everyone
2. Patience. Wait to see how everyone reacts
3. A Sense of Calmness. If the chosen move can’t be executed, stay calm, and allow another move of clarity to unfold.
The ability to experience genuine connection is a crucial life skill for the 21st century

About the event
“The most important lesson I ever learned in basketball? Slow down… Good teams beat you with speed. Great teams beat you with spacing and timing.” - Jason Kidd
We play basketball to guide players from multiple sports to move away from viewing one another as LEGO-like pieces to be assembled into a machine. Instead, we encourage them to think opponents are trying to hide something from them. As players gain practical experience in moving to find what is being hidden, they cultivate a richer understanding of the relationships, connections, and the intricate web of space and timing that exists between them all. Players learn to slow down and win with spacing and timing

Lets play ball
We are a social enterprise. We use all profits to give those who are excluded or vulnerable to social exclusion a free experience of playing sports and games where everyone set's each other up to succeed. Where everyone constantly imagines other ways. Where everyone uses mistakes to find what is next and grow. Experiences to build a belief that they are not stuck as they are now. Thank you.
