B.U.I.L.D ALL-STARS Tournament 2024
On the 17th and 18th of August 2024, B.U.I.L.D Sports Africa proudly hosted the inaugural B.U.I.L.D All-Star Basketball Tournament in collaboration with the Nairobi County League. This event not only showcased the immense talent of young athletes but also highlighted the importance of mental health and personal development in sports. Team Experience and Stingers emerged as the champions in the boys’ and girls’ categories, respectively.
Beyond the competition, the tournament provided an exclusive preview of a new online platform aimed at giving coaches worldwide access to players’ bio information and stats—an essential tool for expanding young athletes’ opportunities. With the support of the ALL-Africa team, we centralized player data, offering these promising talents a broader stage to showcase their abilities.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our partners who made this event a success, including Proactive Physiotherapy, The Good Company, Oye Kenya, Amache Water, Woopy Sport, and the Nairobi County League. This tournament was more than just a game; it was a pivotal step in shaping the future of basketball in Kenya.
