The Caribbean Centre, Toxteth

Loud mouth talking with the game to match, the Caribbean Centre embodies the heart of the basketball community. Each summer we balled hard through the hot weather, Shirts vs Skins, as strangers turned to friends. You didn't just play ball, you learned and developed as elders passed their skills down to the younger generation. Ballers at every standard putting in work for the victory just to play another game. From High school to University it didn't matter about the age, all that mattered is what you brought to the table.

I'll never forget the days at the Caribbean, a perfect example of strength in the community. We didn't just build on game, we built on character. Interacting with people from every background.

As time moves forward and we all move on with our lives, the community that grew on the court remains. Still to this day the memories and the lessons we learned stay with us all.
