SNIPES and Hustle & Heart unleashed a basketball showcase onto New York City’s courts on November 10-11. Overtime Elite (OTE) and ACES Elite—two elite talents—added their expertise to this two-day event that distinguished itself as one of premier grassroots games nationally.
An eight-team league, the OTE, spreads across the nation. It offers high school basketball players a distinct choice: one path leads to professionalism and salary; the other is a scholarship opportunity. ACES Elite – a brand platform known for its emphasis on apparel, content creation and compelling storytelling – added additional excitement into this event.
SNIPES enhanced the experience for participants and attendees by bringing an array of incentives: branded DJ booths; gym banners–fan giveaways–and interactive contests. This comprehensive approach kept the energy high throughout. Each team played a central role in the community initiative to raise funds for a SNIPES Community Partner. The winning team landed a $5,000 donation to charity while ACES contributed $2,500 as a donation from the losing team!
SNIPES and Hustle & Heart orchestrated an event that surpassed a simple basketball showcase; it evolved into a celebration of talent, empowerment, and community engagement. The legacy this event creates will persist through those lives transformed by Overtime Elite’s team effort with ACES Elite alongside SNIPES.
