Free, day-long event to take place at world-famous Venice Beach Courts.

LOS ANGELES – UCLA and Under Armour will take over the world-famous Venice Beach Courts on Saturday, Oct. 7, for Bruins at the Beach, celebrating the UCLA/Under Armour partnership, and all that's iconic about both Los Angeles and UCLA Athletics.

The free, day-long event will begin at 10:00 a.m. It is open to the public, and will be highlighted by a special two-hour showcase featuring the UCLA men's and women's basketball teams in the late afternoon (4:00 – 6:00 p.m.). This event will be the first opportunity to see the teams' new blue Under Armour uniforms. General admission seating at the Courts is limited, and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Home to some of the most legendary 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 basketball tournaments in the country, the Venice Beach Courts will see UCLA replicate that format during the first Saturday in October. Alumni teams from both the UCLA men's and women's basketball programs, in addition to various local Los Angeles influencers, will take part in Battle of the Boardwalk, an elimination-style 3-on-3 tournament beginning at noon.

The events lineup for the day begins at 10:00 a.m. with a free Yoga on the Hardwood class led by UCLA alumna and former women's basketball player Lindsey Pluimer. Members of the UCLA Gymnastics team and UCLA Gymnastics alumna Samantha Peszek will participate in Yoga on the Hardwood. UCLA students and fans are invited to bring their yoga mats for a practice unlike any other.

Throughout the day, Bruins at the Beach also will feature musical entertainment provided by student DJs, performances by the UCLA Spirit Squad, live street art in conjunction with the Venice Public Art Walls, food trucks, apparel pop-up shops, and more.

Under Armour ICON Stations will be on site, allowing fans to customize Under Armour footwear and incorporate the local works of Venice Beach artists. Designed shoes from the ICON Stations will be made available for immediate purchase with free shipping for any deliveries to UCLA student residences.

Bruins at the Beach on Oct. 7 takes place just a few weeks before the men's and women's basketball teams return to the court in Pauley Pavilion.

The men's basketball team will return to Pauley Pavilion against Cal State Los Angeles for an exhibition game on Wednesday, Nov. 1, three days before the Bruins will depart for Shanghai, China, for their season opener against Georgia Tech (Nov. 10).

The women's basketball team will face Vanguard University in an exhibition game in Pauley Pavilion on Sunday, Nov. 5, before opening the regular season at home against San Jose State on Friday, Nov. 10.
