Island Hoops Going from Strength to Strength
Island Hoops Basketball, founded by Dwajaneil Dorsett, Benjamin Clarke, Wendell Dean, and Jadyn Gomez, is becoming a prominent movement in Nassau's casual basketball community.
Started in 2025, the initiative provides a safe, structured, and competitive environment for players of all ages who love the game.
"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 idea was born out of concern for the decline of safe, organized casual basketball runs around Nassau.
What began as a few outdoor sessions has now evolved into a well-organised community staple.
