Malgré l’appel du bikini et la chaleur écrasante du mois d’août gapençais, nous avons été plus d’une cinquantaine de fous de la balle orange à participer au tournoi Big Bangs du 8 août à Gap. De nombreux jeunes du Gap basket, accompagnés d’anciennes gloires locales, ont vu débarquer sur leurs terres des grenoblois descendus pour un weekend guinguette haut-alpin, avec des manosquins, des parisiens et même une guest star lilloise ! Ce cocktail explosif avait la main plus chaude que jamais avec des switch à faire frétiller les marmottes et …

It was cold, windy, altogether miserable, and unfortunately a reality for far too many Australians.
Why did we support?  The article below from our CEO should explain…

In March of this year, the Big Bangs organized an under-17 basketball league.
All the participants were kids who were no older than juniors in high school.  These kids were desperate for a tournament which wasn’t being dominated by seniors, college students and adults (sadly that includes the Big Bangs).  It was no fun for them to register in a tournament just to lose every game by 50 points or more.  These kids wanted fair and even competition and the Big Bangs gave it to them.
8 teams participated in a season, …

Let’s go right inside the heart of the Alps, in France, south east part, between mountains, far away from the Bangladeshi heat. Here you are, in Grenoble, a strange place where weird animals are living.
They are from what is called the “IEP”. A mixture between a high standard school and a friendly shelter for psyche people like us. Great place.
Few of them got in touch with the Big Bangs, offering their help in organizing a charity multisport tournament. Of course, we accepted straight away and here they were launched in …
