City Of Birmingham Rockets Basketball Club City of Birmingham Rockets Basketball Club - Developing Basketball In Birmingham Since 2003

From the start it was decided that City Of Birmingham Basketball Club needed to:

■ Provide opportunities for boys and girls up to the age of 18 and, as and when possible financially, to provide opportunities beyond the age of 18
■ Enter teams from U12 to U18 in the National England Basketball Leagues
■ Develop relationships with schools in the a

rea and offer Basketball awareness to local Primary Schools
■ Hold Open Trials each year so that ANYONE interested in Basketball could have an opportunity to further their talents
■ Develop our players from a young age and continue that development as they progress through the age groups in the club
■ Provide Coaching and Game opportunities at the lowest possible cost commensurate with the use of a high standard of facilities.
■ Keep costs low none of the Coaches or Volunteers are paid: all give their time out of a commitment to develop Basketball in the area.
■ Most importantly, to provide a welcoming, friendly and sociable Club in which all members are treated with respect, as individuals and enabled to develop their Basketball to the highest level possible

Player, Coach, Captain, Champion. Thank you Martyn Gayle 🚀

After four years and countless memories, we say farewell to Martyn and wish him the very best of luck in his next chapter in Gloucester.

Since returning to Birmingham in 2022, Martyn took on a player/coach role in his first season - earning promotion and winning the playoffs in 2022/23; earning finals MVP and Coach of the Year.

The team has continued to progress ever since, with Martyn lifting the BCB Trophy in Nottingham in March this year in a historic moment for the club.

Thank you, Martyn - we will see you soon! 🚀
