By women for women: Five years of Female Focus Basketball Tournament

The fifth edition of the Female Focus Basketball Tournament will take place on the 19 July at Moberly Sports Centre, London.

Known as a sporting event 'delivered by women for women', the tournament is designed to improve access for women and girls through playing basketball, officiating, volunteering, videography, and running small businesses.

Founder of the tournament, Ruth Eytle, said:

"I wanted to create an environment whereby women and girls had the opportunity to lead in a sporting event within all aspects. To provide opportunities where we are the majority and not the minority.

"This event attracts over 150 women as young as 11 and up to 60 years of age, from London to Wales, from demographics all over the world. Our aim is to create a safe space, improve access whilst removing barriers, to get [more women and girls] involved in a game we love."
