Sorry for this message everyone.

East Durham Lions has always prided itself on being a community basketball club.

As such we strive to keep our costs as low as possible; we know they are and will continue to be amongst the lowest in the region at both junior and senior levels.

Sadly, despite our great ongoing relationship with East Durham College, they are raising the court hire fees from 1st October 2025 for all users.

As a result of this we regret that we need to increase our fees to you as well.

New Charges

Adult training and game fees - increase to £6.

Junior Pay and play sessions £4 per session.

We hope you understand the above changes have been only implemented out of necessity. Our club is fully staffed by volunteers and not run as a business. We just need to make sure that the costs are covered to enable us to carry on providing basketball to all.

These new charges come into effect immediately.
