Starting on Sunday, August 6, ballers who want to show off their wares at The Courtyard can register and book their slots for free.
MANILA, Philippines — With the FIBA World Cup in the Philippines just around the corner, Filipino basketball fans are in for another exciting treat as global sports brand Nike recently opened its newest basketball courts in Bonifacio Global City —The Courtyard.
Aside from the two sustainable full-sized courts, the sprawling facility designed by homegrown artist Kiefer Indiongco also features a half-court on the side, which serves as a training zone for all players. As part of brand’s worldwide commitment to the growth of the women’s basketball game, the court will be allotting Tuesday and Thursday nights exclusively to female ballers.
“That’s just one step for us to basically continue to let the female ballers know that we’re supporting them, giving them space and a platform to help grow their community.” Led by the sharpshooting Castillo and UP Fighting Maroons point guard Gerry Abadiano, Team Khate completed a thrilling come-from-behind win against Team Angel in the finals, 16-13, to capture the first Courtyard crown.
Abadiano’s fellow Fighting Maroon Terrence Fortea, meanwhile, carried the fight for Team Angel, together with social media influencers LA Aguinaldo and Patricia Henson, among others.
