Welcome to Winchester City Basketball Club.
As a club we aim to bring together people from the Winchester area, who love the game of basketball. We have lots to offer everyone, from players who wish to learn more about the game and develop their skills, to those looking for the opportunity to play competitive team basketball at a high standard. There are also plenty of opportunities to get involved with coaching, officiating and many other areas of the game!
The club itself consists of three mens teams - Wasps, Wizards and the Kings and starting this season a womens team - the Panthers. We also run junior teams that have recently started competing in the local area Central Venue League.
All these teams play at local league level.
The Wizards have just completed their third season, this year in Solent League Division Two after finishing runners up in division three in 2008/09.
The Wasps completed their second season as a team, after winning Solent League Division 3 in 2008/09 they finished 3rd in Division two this year.
The Kings are about to compete in their first season in Division 3 of the Wessex League.
The Panthers will be competing in the Wessex womens basketball league.
Due to the high level of interest and the quality of player in the club, a team entered into the Men's Founders Cup for the second season in row. This national competition allows players to test their skills against teams from outside their local area. Winchester just missed out on qualifying for the knock out stages in 2009/10 after winning 2 and losing 4 games.
The club prides itself on its friendly but competitive approach to basketball and strives to promote the sport around Winchester. Please feel free to contact us about the basketball opportunities it offers and use the site to get to know the club and its members better. You can find our fixtures on the fixtures and results page so please come down and cheer us on!
Thank you.
