HALF Court Group and Okada Manila are collaborating once again for a bigger and better sports lifestyle event – the Courtside Fair 2025.
Themed “Own the Court, Run the Culture,” it combines 3x3 basketball competitions with a sports camp, vibrant marketplace, play areas, and more, making it the perfect weekend destination for athletes, families, sports fans, and lifestyle enthusiasts.
The Fair will run from July 18-27, 2025 at Okada Manila’s Crystal Pavilion. Last year’s camp and tournament saw participation from 32 teams and over 6000 guests and visitors.
This year’s Courtside Fair promises an exciting new experience filled with competitions, activities, and opportunities to learn and bond over 3x3 basketball.
Gear Up for the Leagues
The Courtside Fair will play host to four 3x3 basketball competitions to encourage more people to participate and unleash their hidden talent for the sport.
These include the Women’s Open League for ladies 18 years old and up, Men’s Open League for males 21 years old and up, Men’s Corporate League for teams who want to represent their companies, and U23 Boys League for younger participants.
The tournament kicks off on July 18 with the women’s elimination games. This continues through the week with men’s corporate and open league eliminations and will culminate in the thrilling finals on July 27.
Alongside the intense 3x3 basketball action, visitors can explore a variety of booths featuring local sellers, enjoy a dedicated play area for kids, and soak up the festive atmosphere.
The champions of the men’s and women’s divisions are not only taking home their respective titles, but will also be qualifying for the Red Bull Half Court National Finals to be held on October 18, 2025. This earns them the chance to go up against teams from across the country where stakes are even higher.
Total cash prizes of over P200,000 and rewards from fair sponsors are also up for grabs for the top placers of each category.
Fun Sports Experience for All
For children who want to learn how to play 3x3 basketball, Courtside Fair has a Kids Camp that is open to all ages. Parents who are looking for a new activity for their kids to try can also take this opportunity to introduce the sport to them.
During the camp, they will be mentored by some of the country’s best basketball players for a more hands-on experience, which will also be a treat for both families and fans of the sport.
To make the event more inclusive, Half Court Group partners with Miss Possibilities Foundation to bring 25 kids with disabilities to experience fun sports activities. They can also join the Kids Camp where they can tap into their interest in 3x3 basketball or simply explore different areas and activities of the Fair.
Attendees can also showcase their best shot at the Courtside Fair’s 1-on-1 tournament. This is open to anyone who wants to participate and unleash their competitive side – no limits for maximum action on the court.
