The Hoopsfix Pro-Am returned for its third year, filling Brixton Rec for the finals, while being the talk of social media for five weeks.
Working with Lambeth Council and self-funded by the Hoopsfix Foundation, the Pro-Am returned to Brixton Rec for the second straight year, with every Sunday featuring a six-game slate consisting of two women’s games and four men’s games taking place from June 16th until July 14th

Headlining names include Great Britain Senior internationals such as Carl Wheatle, Amin Adamu, Jordan Williams, Jubrile Belo and Rob Gilchrist, while on the female side, reigning MVP Shanice Beckford-Norton returned, along with Georgia Gayle, Chantel Charles and Melita Emanuel-Carr.
FunctionAll were crowned men’s champions, while Team Diamond took the women’s crown.
GB international Georgia Gayle was named women’s MVP after standout performances through three weeks, while Peter Turay, back from college in the US, picked up his second men’s MVP trophy after winning it in 2022.
Plans are in place to continue the Pro-Am for the fourth straight year in 2025.
