360 Hoops Showcase at UCF Spring Football Game

What if someone threw a football party and a basketball game broke out?

Now, we love our football as much as any fan, which is why 360 Hoops was so excited to be part of the University of Central Florida’s 2019 annual spring football game and UCF’s Fan Fest Event at Spectrum Stadium in Orlando. But hoops is our first love, and the game was a great opportunity for the Knights men’s and women’s basketball programs to use 360 Hoops to engage the many fans in attendance.

And we think it’s hardly a coincidence that both hoops squads made the NCAA Tournament this year. OK, maybe a day of 360 Hoops wasn’t the main reason both teams were dancing in March, but we do know that all of the fans and players that had a chance to play it had a blast!

Every person that had a chance to step on the 360 Hoops court at these two events had nothing but great things to say about our unique brand of the sport. Groups like the UCF soccer alumni, fraternities, and the Colonial High School football team all tested their skills on our hoop. See the videos below to see how they did!

Coach Donny Hodges, who you would normally see pacing up and down the sidelines at Colonial High gridiron, was instead stalking the 360 Hoops circle as his players competed against one another in some fun 3v3 gameplay.

“It’s great to see athletes from every sport be able to play on a 360 Hoop and just have a great time out there,” said 360 Hoops founder and coach Shane Brey. One of the best features of our basketball hoop is that it gives every skill level the opportunity to participate and contribute in a vital way.”

360 Hoops will be working with UCF to put together an exciting bracket tournament sometime during the 2019-20 school year that will be helping benefit multiple charities. Initial discussions include the possibility of surrounding the UCF stadium with our Hoops on gameday weekend to give tailgating fans some extra action. In addition, fraternities and sororities may be participating in a tournament on the Friday prior to this gameday event and the final three men’s and women’s teams could be facing off at halftime of the UCF Football game while also featuring a substantial charitable donation from the funds raised through the tournaments to select charitable causes. The possibilities are endless.

Thank you to all the UCF fans that have come out to participate in the last two events and Go Knights!
