This included Temi’s home court of Hendon Park in Barnet, North London, which was recently renovated and given a new lease of life through the #'ProjectSwish initiative in partnership with Wilson Sporting Goods.
#ProjectSwish is giving players across the country the chance to receive free nets for their local court and help the basketball community enjoy a better experience playing outdoors.

Now in its second year, 2000 nets have already been sent out to courts in the first month, well on its way to beating last year’s total of 2226 nets installed.
#ProjectSwish also aims to inspire and provide support for outdoor court renovations. It was recently announced that Basketball England will be taking the project to the next level, using the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games to create a ‘Games Legacy’ and inspiring the rejuvenation of outdoor courts across the country.
