About Us

Midnight Madness is the biggest summer basketball program in Great Britain.  We provide the ultimate in hoops competition, summer fun, entertainment and good times while delivering access to exciting opportunities for ballers both on and off the court.   Over the past 10 years, we've run the hottest  events, largest competitions and most coveted programs ever witnessed in the UK - reaching more players and opening more doors than anything seen before on British shores.


The program was originally created in 1999 to help combat gun crime in London, using a series of basketball 'open runs' through the night as a positive diversionary activity for 14-25 year olds. Thanks to the support of all the ballers and spectators over the years, our program has developed into the largest open-participation basketball competition in Britain, with over 5,000 players fighting to compete in our events annually - watched by thousands of spectators and a tv/digital audience in excess of 6M+. 

Midnight Madness was created by 'ballers' and is essentially for 'ballers'.  We organise 'open runs'  throughout the year to get more players playing ball more often as we build up to our summer events.  During the summer months, we run a nationwide unique 'talent search' designed to find the best players in the nation.  We then profile the UK's finest in a final showdown to determine who reigns supreme as the best of the best, then provide those players with opportunities that can change their lives forever.  Our aim is to provide players with the platform, support and access to opportunities they need to get to their 'next level' - whever or whatever that may be - delivered through a unique experience that is filled with excitement, summer fun and good times. 

Between our summer program and charitable foundations activities, we've brought the biggest names in basketball and entertainment to the UK as part of our ongoing mission to 'inspire players to aspire', featuring global icons such as Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Busta Rhymes and Chris Brown, in addition to our list of UK sports stars and celebrities who attend our 'roadblock' Summer Showcase each year.  We've taken winners from our competition around the world to represent the UK on the international stage in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington, Paris and Milan.  We are widely regarded as the 'biggest thing' in UK hoops.

We are motivated by the positive values of community and re-investing time and expertise back into the local areas we reach.  Through our charitable arm, Reach & Teach, we work with MM winners from previous years on nurturing a sense of responsibility and providing avenues for them to 'give back' through basketball as ambassadors to the neighbourhoods in which they live, throughout the year.  Reach & Teach provide ongoing coaching, mentoring, education and vocational training programs in schools, colleges and communities throughout the UK . We are collectively dedicated to showing ballers at all levels that their hard work, drive and dedication displayed on the court can be translated into success off the court - giving them a positive route off the streets.

What started out as a local initiative, staged through the night to give young people something more positive to do, has now grown into a basketball phenomenon that has become internationally known, nationally respected and locally accepted everywhere we go.
