On The Ground - Sharing Your Stories: the First NSC Spotlight in 2025 is on Hurdles2Hoops

 
This month we’re featuring  the story of Sachdhian Dhillon and his basketball progression with team No Question

Hurdles2Hoops is a non-profit organisation  working with asylum seekers and refugees offering free physical activity and education sessions in Westminster and other London boroughs

Read Sachdhian’s Story 

Sachdhian is a key member of the 'No Question' basketball team.
Sachdhian Dhillon just played his first league CBL game for NO QUESTION. He was in the starting 5, got MVP and 13 points. It was an incredible game for him and we have the NSC programme and his incredible coaches from the last 2 years to thank for all their hard work, dedication and support in his development and skills both on and off the court. It goes to show that these unique basketball development programmes produce great players and stamina. Blessed and grateful.
