This is where culture meets competition. This is the Creating Legends Midwest Challenge.

Let’s Go.

Day 1

Friday: 3v3 Basketball Showdown

Outdoor hoops. DJ in the background. Classic Flint championship moments playing on the big screen.

Three legendary courts — Northwestern, Northern, and Central — honoring the rich tradition of basketball in our city.

Youth from across the region compete in fast-paced games for bragging rights, medals, and memories.

Divisions: 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, 18U

Music • Food Trucks • Community Energy
Real competition. Real legacy.

Day 2

Saturday: 7v7 Football Tournament + Cheer/Dance Showdown

We hit the turf with the same mission: build legends, one snap at a time. Teams battle it out in a 7v7 tournament with former pros and Flint greats on the sidelines, coaching and mentoring the next generation.

Between games, cheer and dance teams light up the crowd. At halftime, the entire community gets in on the action with the 800M Spectator Challenge: an all-ages race with prizes and pride on the line.

Divisions: 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, 18U

Why It Matters

This event is 100% free for youth participants because we believe in leveling the playing field. It’s about breaking down barriers, building confidence, and honoring the legacy of athletes who came before, while lighting the path for those coming next.
