YOUNG people will be shooting hoops as part of a worldwide record attempt on Saturday.
Everyone is welcome to take part in the bouncing fun which involves more than 40 young people from Grimsby's YMCA, and will take place at Freeman Street Market between 11am and 2pm tomorrow.
The Hoop Springs Eternal Challenge is aiming for five-million people from 74 countries worldwide to shoot as many baskets as possible.
There will be 71 YMCAs in England taking part and, from Grimsby, The Foyer, Peaks Lane and volunteers from the YMCA shop in Wingate Parade will be taking part.
The reason basketball has been chosen is because it was invented at the YMCA Training School in Massachusetts during 1891 by James Naismith.
Jonathan Byrne, YMCA co-ordinator, said: "I'm really excited about the challenge and I am looking forward to having a go at basketball because the last time I had a go at the sport was 15 years ago.
"People can join in if they make a small donation and they have 60 seconds to get as many hoops in as possible. And the winner will win a small prize.
"There will also be activities for children to do during the event. We want as many people as possible to take part in the sport and we are sure it will be a fun event for everyone of all ages."
Laceby Youth Club kindly donated the hoops for the event and Freeman Street Market have allowed the youth group to use the market.
Jocelyn Dennis, youth worker at YMCA, said: "It will be good and I'm hoping my aim will be OK because I used to play a lot of netball.
"It should come naturally to me and I can't wait to be part of a world record."
Sam Hann, 21, from the YMCA, said: "I used to play a lot of basketball because it was something to do and it was a good way to socialise.
"I'm a competitive person so I hope I can score the most hoops."
Another member of the YMCA who is taking part is Craig Smyth, 19, who said he "can't wait to be part of a world-record challenge".
"I have been looking forward to this event for ages and I can't wait to be part of history to hopefully make a world record," he said.
"Basketball is a cool sport and it makes a statement to kids to get fit."
