Tonight’s the night! Excited, much? Just a little. #over40fitness #over40basketball #manchesterbasketball #basketball #covidsafesport #stilllovethisgame

Only 6 more sleeps...

If anyone fancies a little leisurely Sunday morning ‘ball we have some spaces for tomorrow. 10-11am The website (and email) are out of action for a couple of days for an upgrade, so just message us and we’ll add you to the roster 👍🏀

From playing in the park in the snow to some joyous nights back home at the magnificent NBPC, it’s been quite a year! To all our crew, new and old, young and, erm, old, we wish you a very Happy Christmas and we can’t wait to see you on court in 2022. #stilllovethisgame

Can’t wait for our first session of the new year tomorrow night! Tuesday Night Basketball’ is back where it belongs (on, erm, Tuesday) 😃 #over40basketball #manchesterbasketball #over40fitness

It isn’t just fun 😊 #over40basketball #manchesterbasketball #stilllovethisgame

If your coach doesn’t use a frisbee during basketball training then, frankly, it’s time to start asking some serious questions. #basketball #over40sbasketball #manchesterbasketball #ilovemanchester #stilllovethisgame

Another really fun, friendly and relaxed over-40s basketball session this morning. (But can’t help thinking we overdid the seating again). #over40fitness #over40basketball #manchesterbasketball

If anyone fancies a change from bouncing a ball, Mel’s mixed netball team is looking for players, starting this Sunday. Get in touch if you’re interested. #oldpeoplecantjump (#butthatsokbecauseitsagainsttherules #ithink)

We only went and got a silver medal at an international tournament. I guess the Israeli Pro team were always gonna be favourites! #oldmenofinstagram #oldmencanjump #over40basketball #manchesterbasketball #basketball

So, this happened last night. Our very first 3x3 tournament! Well done to the Ridge Raiders and the Faç51ers who shared the trophy* after a nail biting buzzer beater draw in the final (*there was no trophy, obvs) #over40basketball #stilllovethisgame

All the money from last night’s sessions is already on its way to Manchester Central Foodbank 🙂 Thanks to everyone who came and a special thanks to long time member and all round top chap, The Bells, for matching the total.

And the winners of tonight’s Half Court Tournament are… 👏👏 #over40basketball #basketball #over40fitness

Since the start of the year we’ve planted a tree for every player who’s joined one of our sessions. This week we planted our 1,000th tree! Which is nice 🙂 #basketball #over40sfitness #manchester #climateneutral #climatechange @GMMoving GreaterSport Andy Burnham I Love Manchester
