Manchester | Sports & Recreation
We provide opportunities for local people to play basketball at the level that suits them; that could be walking basketball, pay to play fun games and training, local league or to be part of our successful National League programmes for girls and boys. We are more than just basketball; we support our younger members to develop team skills, self-confidence and learn life skills that support them off the court. We have a strong club ethos based on support and respect.
Why the community needs usWe are based in a deprived area of Manchester and work to support young people in the community who cannot afford to play basketball by offering free membership and/or reduced membership depending on their circumstances. We have developed and deliver satellite clubs in the outlying schools to support those who cannot travel to our centre. Our club offers diversionary activities aimed to develop self worth and build values that promote cohesion and respect for our diverse communities.
Our impact on the communityWe are proud of our success over the years. We have won a number of national titles, have had players represent our region and at national levels (both England and GB) - we even have a Commonwealth Silver medallist in our midst!
