Derby Trailblazers Basketball Club

Derby Trailblazers Basketball Club Community Basketball Club, founded in 2000. Holders of Sport England Club Mark. We believe we are a friendly club who put the interests of its members first.

The club was formed in the summer of 2000 running teams for boys at cadet (under 16) and junior (under 18) levels and senior women in the national basketball league. Since then the club has grown and now provides opportunities for girls, boys, women and men to play, coach and officiate in the exciting game of basketball. Teams compete in both local and national competitions and whilst success on t

he court is important to us, the club is committed to providing opportunities for people to develop their interests and skills in coaching, officiating and administration. The club has a vision of where it wants to be in five years time:
‘To ensure that everyone within the extended community of Derby is aware of and has access to the club and that there are opportunities for people to be involved at all levels whether as a player, coach, official, administrator or volunteer.’

To realise its vision the club has set itself the following targets:

* To have teams in all local and national league competitions.
* To establish a community basketball programme that provides opportunities for all young people in and around Derby to be involved in basketball.
* To establish links with schools and youth organisations within the community.
* To establish a development programme for coaches, officials and administrators.
* To have a competitive national league ladies side.
* To be competing in division one of the men’s national league.
* This is a community club run by a group of dedicated volunteers. The structure of the club is designed to ensure its long term future and to build the capacity to increase the opportunities it offers in basketball. Generally people who join the club want to stay, something we are very proud of.

A hard-fought Derby on the road didn't end our way, but the focus shifts immediately.

Tomorrow we take to the road once again in the BCB Trophy, travelling to Halifax to face off against Yorkshire Dragons.

We reset, we lock in, and we roll.

See you on the road, Blazer Nation! 🫡🥁💙🏀
