A HISTORY-making basketball team is holding try-outs at Pershore High School for the opportunity to play in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) this summer.

Richards Elite are the first-ever British team to enter the tournament. A $1million prize is at stake for the winning team of the prestigious competition.

The team are on the hunt for players aged 17-years-old and above to join the squad and travel to the United States of America for the tournament which takes place from July 18 to August 3.

Richards Elite are holding a try-out session at Pershore High School on Tuesday, March 18 at 8pm.

They have already hosted three successful try-out sessions in Rochester and North London.

TBT (The Basketball Tournament) is a nationally-televised 64-team bracket-style competition.




Broadcast on ESPN for the past decade, over 70 former TBT players have signed NBA contracts.

This year, TBT will air on FOX Sports and YouTube.
