🐦‍🔥 Phoenix Community Day in the Books 🐦‍🔥

What. A. Day.

Seeing so many people come together from all walks of life and share stories, smiles and laughs is what this day was about. Chantry community did not disappoint.

Thank you to every single person that came by and made the day so special.

Special thanks to the mayor Pat Bruce-Browne for fitting us into her busy schedule and seeing what our community is all about - great technique for tip off as well 😁 better luck next time under 18s, the men won the first round 🥇

It feels impossible to truly capture the atmosphere of the day in pictures, but hopefully these will do it some justice. Shout out to our photographers Zenonas Gabrielius Klusas and Aston

Stay tuned for updates on the next event and please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to be involved 🐦‍🔥🎄🎅🏽👀

🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Community Cohesion 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Today we were involved in a project in collaboration with and within the chantry community. The day was about bridging the gap for our youth, creating spaces for them to feel heard, represented and unify through sport!

Basketball has always been the driving sport in the chantry community and today it was on show for all to see 🏀🏀

The young guys loved getting into some competitive games with the police who were welcomed into the groups helping to build relationships between enforcement and the next generation, and Active Suffolk captured some fantastic youth voice around sporting provision and accessibility within the chantry community!

Today has been an incredible step in the right direction to break down negative stereotypes associated with our local court and young people. That court has been the heart of our community for decades and it was amazing to see it so full of life again!

Huge thank you to and for being a positive role model and voice within the community and to for hosting us!

One Sixth Form 2nd Vs Ipswich Sixth Form 🏀

A very competitive and fun afternoon. All the lads showed heart and created an intense game right to the end, with Ipswich edging the win. The atmosphere was incredible.

It was so great to have two separate programmes run by Coach Ty come together and compete. Basketball is the tool, but this has always been about creating spaces for the young guys to express and grow. Both teams had smiles at the end and we're already looking forward to the return fixture 👀

Massive thanks to both teams, and all the others involved that help make it such a great afternoon!

🌟 Customer Review 🌟

Last week we were lucky enough to be invited into Twinkletoes Pre-School in Trimley St. Martin to deliver a Lil Dribblerz session!

Gina and her staff were incredibly supportive of the session and the children's engagement. The whole setting felt incredibly welcoming.

Our session started off with a story - 'We're going on a bear hunt', followed by activities themed around the story that support foundational skills for basketball such as balance, agility and coordination!

We had so much fun, looking forward to our next adventure! If your Nursery/ Pre-School are interested in booking please don't hesitate to email: [email protected]

Our toddler group starts in one week, sign up through the link in our bio to avoid disappointment 😁🏀

🏀 Coaching Announcement 🏀

Thrilled to announce that I am going to be a pathway coach for new U11 Aspire Programme.

The new U11 age group extends the first stage of Basketball England’s Talent Pathway, engaging players from age eight to 15, with the long-term objective of supporting progression towards England and Great Britain representation. The programme is supported by FIBA’s Youth Development Fund.

“3x3 is the ideal introduction for young players, offering constant involvement, more touches and greater decision-making in a fun, supportive environment. Aspire U11s will help develop confident, creative players while laying the foundations for future England and GB stars.” (Basketball England 3x3 Development Manager, Meehra Gorasia).

Aspire U11s: Purpose

✅ Introduce young players to 3x3 principles in a fun, engaging environment

✅ Support skill development, teamwork and game awareness

✅ Identify potential without pressure, selection bias or early exclusion

Super excited to take the next step in my coaching journey and continue to positively support the growth and engagement of this sport 🏀
