Introduction to Island Hoops
Island Hoops Basketball, founded by Dwajaneil Dorsett, Benjamin Clarke, Wendell Dean, and Jadyn Gomez, is growing in popularity within Nassau's casual basketball community.
The initiative, started in 2025, offers a safe and competitive environment for players of all ages who share a passion for basketball.
"I was tired of trying to find runs and couldn’t find much people to play with, it felt like the game was dying and guys weren’t really interested in playing because they couldn’t find any good runs in Nassau,"said Dorsett, explaining the motivation behind the project.
From humble beginnings as outdoor sessions, Island Hoops has evolved into a well-organized community staple.
