Okay, so today, I tried out this thing called “storm the court.” Sounds wild, right? It all started when I came across this old article about how rushing the court has been a thing in sports since, like, the 1950s. I mean, imagine that, decades of people just going nuts and flooding onto the court after a big win.

So, I got to thinking, what’s the big deal? Is it just a basketball thing? Apparently not. But in the NBA, the court is huge, like 94 by 50 feet. That’s a lot of space for people to just run wild on. I even checked, and under International Basketball Federation rules, the court is a bit smaller, but still pretty big.
Now, I’m not a lawyer or anything, but I also read something about not going to court just to be a pain or get revenge. That got me thinking, this whole “storm the court” thing isn’t about being a jerk, it’s more about the excitement and celebrating, I guess. I also saw some tips about courtroom etiquette and making a good first impression. I figured, even if I’m not in an actual courtroom, there’s got to be some kind of unwritten rules for storming the court, right?
I didn’t have a client or anything, but I imagined what it would be like to be someone going to court, whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth. There’s probably a lot of forms to fill out, and I saw something about how HM Courts and Tribunals Service uses your personal info when you fill those out. I even looked up what to bring to a court or tribunal hearing, how to get support, and what to expect. It’s a whole process, man.
- Figured out the logistics: This is the most important part.
- Got my gear ready: No way I was doing this without proper sport shoes.
- Waited for the right moment: Timing is everything, folks.
- Made my move: When the game ended, I bolted.
- Enjoyed the moment: Felt like I was part of something big.
There was this leaflet about understanding what to do if you’re charged with a crime and told to go to court. That’s not really related to storming the court, but it made me think about how different situations in a court can be. And if you need legal advice, you should definitely talk to someone who knows their stuff.
Then I found this guide for people who are actually going to court or tribunal, or even just sitting in the waiting room. It had tips on what to do while you wait. And it reminded me that you don’t have to answer police questions, which is good to know in any situation, I guess.

So, after all this reading and thinking, I finally went for it. I stormed the court. And you know what? It was a rush! It felt like being part of something bigger than myself, a shared moment of excitement with everyone around me. Would I do it again? Maybe. It’s definitely something everyone should experience at least once, just to see what it’s all about.
But hey, if you ever actually have to go to court for real, make sure you know what you’re doing. This was just for fun, but real court stuff is serious business.
