EXCLUSIVE: MADE Hoops is taking youth basketball global.
The grassroots basketball brand announced a new partnership with FIBA to launch the MADE Hoops Global Games, the first-ever middle school basketball championship. The inaugural event is set for June 12-14 in Springfield, Massachusetts, with teams from around the world competing under official FIBA rules.
For MADE, it’s another signal that the company is thinking way bigger than the traditional AAU playbook. Founded by Chad Babel and backed by names like Boardroom, 35V, SC Holdings, LRMR Ventures, Paolo Banchero, and European basketball power broker Misko Ražnatović — the founder of BeoBasket and one of the sport’s most influential agents — MADE is building toward a more global future for the next generation of players.

13 years. Countless gyms. Living on plane. Over million of kids playing at MADE (literally). A hell of a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. This shit ain't easy but it's sure as hell worth it. MADE started with a simple goal - to build something for the next generation of hoopers that we never had. A platform rooted in competition, development, community, and opportunity. It's always been about more than basketball. Never in a million years did I think we'd get where we are today. Appreciate everyone who’s believed in this vision from day one. To the basketball community, I’ll just say this — it's OUR Time @madehoops
