🏀 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT – EASTER SUPERDRAW 🏀

On behalf of Grassroots Basketball CIC, we want to say a huge thank you to all of our clubs, players, parents, coaches and supporters for getting behind our Easter Superdraw campaign in partnership with Spond

The response across the network has been fantastic. Every share, every message sent, and every conversation started helps us move closer to our goal of strengthening and expanding grassroots basketball in our communities.

Funds raised will directly support:

• Coach education and qualifications
• Investment in electronic scoring equipment
• Expanding league places to additional clubs
• Growing girls’ team opportunities
• Marketing and essential running costs
• Keeping basketball accessible and inclusive for all

This isn’t just about fundraising — it’s about building a stronger, more diverse and sustainable league structure for next season and beyond.

We are incredibly proud of the collective effort shown across all participating clubs. Your support allows us to continue creating opportunities for young people to develop, compete and thrive through basketball.

Please continue sharing the campaign link with friends and family — every bit of support makes a difference.
Together, we grow the game.

Another success from our Grace Project which was funded by Sport England. The project was aimed at empowering and educating girls and women to become role models in the sport for future generations. We provided courses for L2 referees and L2 coaches as well as ongoing mentoring and support to help our candidates get to the finish line.
Issy Potter has just completed her award and received her L2 Referee qualification from Basketball England. Her tutor said after her final sign off game “Issy had a great final game with me - she is gonna be great” which is high praise indeed.
The YBL are thankful that we have been able to do things like this to benefit the basketball community.

🏀 LEGENDS CAMP – ARE YOU READY? 🏀
Half-Term at Brookfield School

Let’s see if you’re a true basketball legend…

🔥 Quick Fire Questions

1️⃣ Want to train with an ex-England international?
Then you’ll love meeting Drew Sewell, one of our special guest coaches for the week.
Drew has played at the highest level in England and brings elite experience, knowledge, and energy to every session.

2️⃣ Want to learn from a local legend?
That’s where Alex Byrne comes in – camp favourite, club hero, and someone the kids absolutely love learning from.

Alex will be in across the week bringing intensity, fun, and top-level skill work.

3️⃣ Want to be coached by an award-winning coach?

Camp is led by Gareth Birkett –

🏆 Two-time South Region Children's Coach of the Year
🏆 Services to Basketball Award Winner

Gareth will be running the camp and overseeing everything to make sure sessions are high quality, well organised, and most importantly… that everyone is having loads of fun.

You’ll also have:
Ben Lin on court
Rosie working with the girls
Some of our National League players helping out

They’ll be showing you new skills, finishing moves, and game tricks…

And they love a 1v1, so feel free to challenge them 👀
📅 How the Week Works (This is the best bit)
🟢 Monday & Tuesday – Intro & Skill Days
These are your fresh legs days.
Perfect if:

You’ve never been to camp before
You want to hit the ground running
You want to learn new moves, shots, and skills
Anything goes on these days – loads of coaching, loads of reps, loads of fun.

We’ll also start introducing 3v3 concepts so you’re ready for…

🏆 Wednesday – Competition Day

This is where you put it all into action.

What a Day for Grassroots Basketball CIC 🏀🔥

A huge thank you to every single player, parent, coach and volunteer who made today such an incredible day for our ever-growing Grassroots Basketball and Outlet Basketball community.

Across the South of Hampshire, our development players came together for a five-hour tournament at Deer Park—part of a massive nine-hour day of basketball from 8:30am to 5:30pm. Two training sessions, five competitive fixtures, live scoring, junior referees, trainee table officials… today had it all.

We welcomed teams from across our pathway, including all the Outlet Basketball Club development clubs

• Whiteley Warriors Basketball CIC
• Boorley Green Bucks
• New Forest Nova's Basketball
• Fareham Falcons Basketball
• Warriors U13 Girls

Every team competed in the Grassroots Basketball League, showing great energy, teamwork and sportsmanship. It was fantastic to see so many players on court, all the different coloured bibs flying around, and such brilliant enthusiasm throughout the day.

A special mention goes to our junior referees and trainee table officials who stepped up brilliantly—most games were live scored on HoopsHQ, with the scorebook running alongside. Their learning, confidence and professionalism grew with every game.

And finally, a massive thank you to one of our development community coaches, Ben Lin who put in an incredible nine hours today. Coaching, refereeing, court management, hosting—you name it, he did it. Outstanding work and hugely appreciated by everyone at Warriors, Outlet and all our development clubs.

We’re excited to welcome Gosport Gunners Basketball Club into the league after Christmas as the community continues to grow.

Thank you to everyone involved—players, families, volunteers, officials and coaches—for making today such a success.
Enjoy the photos! 📸❤️
