In case anyone isn't aware, this group has been superseded by https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582382331040https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582382331040 and as many will know.. https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=barnsley%20sports%20academy%20metros%20basketball%20club.
As my wee boy is now 23 and I expect his basketball journey has drawn to a close after playing U12, U16, AoC, U18, EABL D3 BUCS and recently D2 for Sheffield. I hope all of your Barnsley youngsters get as much as he has from Coach Bert's expertise.

A small FYI, I created this group when my youngest son joined Leaders, so that other players and parents could see what might be involved if they joined the club.Now the club has evolved and this group has been replaced with a new group https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582382331040

Leaders is moving to a younger age group.

Lots of benefits to youth basketball!! Why not give it a try?

At Barnsley leaders we offer a great coaching session with a very experienced calm and patient coach, the time and effort he puts in with the children is second to none. It’s something your child wants to get into please get in touch. 🏀⛹️‍♂️

This was the start of a huge journey for George Hartshorne Joe Hatfield, Div Mukendi and Reece Smith, all former Leaders players. George was given a sports person of the year award from Horizon, followed by 7 GCSE's and 2 A Levels and now he's received his Degree notification today, which is awesome for a lad who signed up with the Army to avoid GCSE's in 2018. He just needed a reason, which was to play with Sheffield Elite Basketball Academy. and getting a couple of A Levels with them. He's ended his education with a 2:2 Degree in Sports Science with Coaching from Newcastle Northumbria University. My point, all you need is a reason to do well and school like George and other former Leaders players.. and that reason could well be Basketball.. Barnsley college has an awesome Basketball Coach as well as Sheffield. 🙂 All you need is a reason. While at Uni George was playing NBL D3 and local league, as well as BUCS premiership for his University while coaching the 2nd and 3rd teams.. keeping him fit and focussed

This was one of those games, when the Leaders' played together as one unit, all know where they all where. and helping each other, faultlessly, they lost, but weren't beaten. it was 66 all at the end of the 4th quarter. but they'd given their all and had nothing left for the extra quarter. but it didn't matter, they'd proved to themselves that they were good..

The best game of the season for Leaders and they still lost in Extra time, Our wee boys played out of their skin against a very tough opposition, but faded a...
