Reading Rockets

Reading Rockets Reading Rockets Basketball Club - Since 1997 It has gained Sport England’s kitemark ‘ClubMark’ and England Basketball’s 4 star accreditation.

Rockets was founded in 1997 and has achieved huge success with its Senior, Junior, Academy and Community development programmes and is now privileged to run the AASE (Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence) programme. Rockets is now one of the most successful clubs in England and established its Rockets Sport and Educational Foundation charity in 2012. The heart of the Rockets club is pass

ion, vision, quality, motivation and commitment – unified with family values and standards. The Senior Men’s and Ladies’ teams play their home games at the Rivermead Leisure Complex in Reading and are comprised of players with experience of the USA game, Europe and of National Senior Divisions coupled to young blood. Our vision of facilitating opportunities for youngsters to come up through the ranks of the junior section and play in the Senior National League has been realized bringing much reward to coaches, mentors and players alike. The Senior teams represent the target for the youngsters that are coached each week in the healthy lifestyle, community and satellite club programme. Rockets takes children from complete beginners, then coaches and develops their individual talent with team dynamics. The Senior Men’s team completed its most successful season ever in 08-09 by winning all four national championships and by winning every game. In the 2013-14 season they did the treble and were Play Off Championship finalists. Rockets’ Ladies won the Division 2 southern league in 2013-14, whilst the girls programme is growing fast. As a stepping stone into the Senior Men’s team, there is a National Basketball Development League side and many opportunities via Rockets’ academies at the John Madejski Academy, the Henley College, Reading College and Park House School.

What an amazing day the Rockets community programme had at the Whitley Excellence Cluster Primary Schools Tournament held at Hartland High School on Thursday! 🏆

The children were absolutely fantastic throughout the event, demonstrating great teamwork, determination, sportsmanship, and enthusiasm.

Their hard work and effort were recognised with every child receiving a trophy – a well-deserved reward for their commitment and positive attitude.

A huge thank you to Hartland High School for hosting such a brilliant event and to their outstanding Sports Leaders, whose organisation, encouragement, and support helped make the day such a success.

Well done to all the children who took part – you should be incredibly proud of yourselves! 👏🏅

Today Rockets received their very first delivery of Slam Jam packs ready for the children for next term, and we honestly couldn’t be excited!

The team are busy getting prepared for lots of fun, laughter, learning, and energy-filled sessions ahead.

The children are going to absolutely love getting involved, and we can’t wait to see everyone building confidence, enjoying new activities, and having an amazing time together.
