“SUMM3R NICE BASK3T” is the name of a sporting and cultural event entirely focused on basketball culture. This first edition will take place during the summer.
With its Anglophone connotations due to the cosmopolitan nature of Nice and the sense of freedom created by vacations, the goal is to attract the widest possible audience to a unique event that heralds a great celebration.
This tournament will primarily take place outdoors, close to the urban culture associated with the event. The Vauban Stadium, with its six courts, is the ideal location. The finals of the contests and games will take place indoors, followed by the awards ceremony.
The tournament is OPEN, meaning it is open to everyone, whether or not they are registered with the French Basketball Federation. Girls and boys aged 10 to 19 can try out this sport at the two sites (mentioned above) in a festive and free-spirited atmosphere. Over 500 participants are expected!
The SUMM3R NICE BASK3T
It’s the name of a sporting and cultural event. Entirely focused on basketball culture in a broad sense, the “SUMMER NICE BASKET” combines sport and hip-hop sound in the heart of the city of Nice.
It will be an opportunity, over a weekend, to witness a unique spectacle and come together around a shared passion.
Summ3r… with this 1st edition that aims to make a lasting impression, Cavigal Basket intends to reproduce it throughout future summers. Moreover, the season seems conducive to it; it also has connotations of vacation, freedom, and sunshine.
Nice… the 5th largest community in France in terms of population, it is located in the heart of an urban area, bordered by the Bay of Angels. The project aims to expand within Nice. The goal is to attract as many young people as possible from different backgrounds to an unprecedented event, heralding a festive weekend.
