Call out to sporty 6 and 7 year olds in the area who may want to have a go at learning basketball - it's great fun, good for fitness, and really helps children develop team play skills (at present all other ages groups are full to capacity).

Hello everyone, just an update from your friendly neighbourhood basketball club:

We’ve just started the last half-term of the basketball season.

Enquiries:
We currently have space in The Girls (senior school age) and in our U8 group (school years 2&3).

If a new enquirer for an older than U8 age group has significant basketball skills and experience, we would consider having them try-out for the relevant competitive team, depending on what school year group they are in.
These groups will be training through the month of March, have a break through April and May, and then have pre-season extra training sessions in June and July with a view to competing in league matches next season.

Training schedule:
We have an all-girls group who train on Wednesdays after school. All our other groups train on Saturdays: U8s, 10s and 11s in the mornings; U12s, 14s & 16s in the afternoons; the competitive teams of those older groups have a mid-week after-school session also.

We no longer hold a waiting list.

If your child is in school-years 2 or 3, or a senior-school age girl, or has the experience & competitiveness described above, please email [email protected].

Hi All

We thought we'd post as a reminder that this page and the club are emphatically still active!

We ask that people email us at [email protected] for all enquiries and we will come back to you with the information you request. This is easier for us to manage than Facebook messages.

We currently have a waiting list for any new children. Please email with your name, your child’s 1st name and their school year group and we’ll put you on the list!

We are also always on the lookout for new coaches, referees, table officials and club assistants, so if there's anyone out there with a passion for and/or experience in basketball, please do get in touch!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Hello Newbury Basketball Community! Long standing member of the Kennet men's team (and Coach Doug and Annie's son) Euan is running the London Marathon next Sunday, raising money for Greenhouse Sports. Greenhouse are an amazing charity that support disadvantaged children in London helping to improve their life skills and confidence through sport, with a particular focus on basketball.

If you are able to, we'd massively appreciate any small donations to this worthy cause. You can donate and read more about Greenhouse on Euan's JustGiving page here:
