Mumbai: July 21st, 2019: Street Ball League is a first of its kind 3on3 basketball tournament where streets meet basketball. The idea behind the league comes from the legendary brothers and youth icons Rannvijay Singha and Harman Singha who are keen to make basketball the next big thing.

"Basketball runs in my veins, both my parents were players of high caliber, learning a sport young was an integral part of growing up and I was lucky enough to always enjoy and play the game, Streetball is our way of spreading the love and joy of this game to all the youngsters out there," says Harman Singha.

"The basketball movement in India has got new wings through the street ball league, at leap pro sports we are proud to structure new innovative platforms in various sports and take them across India," says Pranav Premnarayen, Director, Street Ball league.

"I dreamt of playing in the NBA since I was a child, I captained my college team to multiple championships and represented Delhi in the Nationals, due to the lack of infrastructure I couldn't pursue my love for the game further, Street ball is my way of making sure the new generation has the right platform to blossom from a player to a champion" - Rannvijay Singha



The league has 12 men's teams and 4 women's team. The format of the game is new and exciting where the matches are of 24 minutes each divided in two halves with a new entry called "the clutch time" where the score gets doubled in the last two minutes in both quarters.
