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, …

On the 31st of January, Faraz hosted a 4-on-4 charity tournament at his high school, the International School of Dhaka (ISD).  With the help of his teachers and the Big Bangs, the one-day event was a great success.  13 teams participated in the tournament, 3-point contest, shooting stars challenge, and elimination games.  Even the girls got into the action as a 4-on-4 game was arranged for them.
Around 13,500 taka (approximately $200) was raised from that day.  The only hiccup of the day was that the Big Bangs lost in a …

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 …

The Canberra Players League have been supporters of the Big Bangs since we first began operations in Australia, so they could be forgiven for taking a couple of weeks off from anything Big Bang related… but no.
