Playaz Club isn't just a weekly summer shootout from the legends at Section 8, it's a celebration of community, street basketball and hip hop.

And, being a Section 8 gig, it features top-drawer artists – hosted by MJ (100% Phat) and soundtracked by resident DJs and guest musicians.

Structured around an open format, multi-round battle, each baller will have their chance to shoot and collect points. At the end of the night, the baller with the most points is crowned the winner, receiving a bunch of prizes from WNDRR, Monkey Shoulder, Hop Nation and Bellini, as well as a drink tab from the bar.

It’s completely free to compete, so tie those laces and shoot some hoops every Monday night from 5:30pm.
