Basketball For All.

Plymouth Basketball Club exists to provide opportunities for children and young people aged 4-18 to participate in weekly basketball training and games. As a volunteer-run organisation, we pride ourselves on the support and family atmosphere we offer. Established in 2000, the club has evolved significantly over the years. We rebranded in 2021 and have experienced remarkable growth and new opportunities over the past three years. Currently, we have around 150 committed children and young people, and we are expanding to offer additional programs such as an all girls training session.

Playing basketball is highly beneficial for children as it enhances physical health through improved fitness, motor skills development, strength, flexibility, and maintaining a healthy weight. Mentally, it offers stress relief, boosts self-esteem, and enhances cognitive functions. Socially, basketball teaches teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship. It also instils important life skills such as time management, goal setting, and responsibility. The sport is fun and engaging, fostering friendships and a lifelong love of physical activity. Additionally, it builds resilience and cultural awareness, contributing to a child's overall development physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally.

In recent years, many of our players have had the opportunity to represent Plymouth, the South West, England and Great Britain in various competitions. additionally, some players have moved on to play for elite basketball academies across the country. we are rapidly gaining recognition for coaching players to higher levels and are forming links with more elite academies.
