Background on Streets
Streets was founded in July of 2022 at the outdoor Windham basketball courts. Streets earned its name for the beginning of every hooper's journey where worn Jordans meet the cracked pavement and memories are made through pickup games from aggressive and fun play. Streets also aims to build and renovate courts to give kids an escape from a troubled home life and a chance and space to achieve their dreams. Tournaments vary upon season and location; however, with the same aim to bring the community together through the art of basketball to create a lasting impact on helping people in need.
