Your jersey is your entry pass to play.
All participants will receive their S&E Hoops Collective jersey on March 5th, the first night of the program.
To ensure fairness, team identification, and a smooth game flow, this is a strict policy:
- You must wear your official Hoops Collective jersey to participate in games
- Players without their jersey will not be permitted to play
Bring it every session. No jersey = no run.
To keep the gym safe, organized, and clutter-free, please follow these guidelines:
- Bags and coats are not permitted inside the gym.
- Plan ahead and pack light — anything not permitted should be left at home or stored in the locker rooms (bring your own lock).
- Phones and water bottles are allowed.
- We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
- Water bottle refill stations are available on site.
Hart House can feel like a maze — don’t worry, we’ve got you.
Getting there:
- Enter Hart House through any entrance.
- Head downstairs to the gym check-in desk.
- Get changed in the locker rooms.
- Bring your own lock if you’ll need storage.
From the locker rooms:
- Walk through the underground heritage Hart House tunnel
- Go up the stairs (you’ll see our sign)
- The basketball courts are to your left (you’ll see our sign again!)
If you’re unsure, just ask a staff member at any Hart House service desk.
