Aim: We are aiming to raise money for new equipment for the different ages within our club. For example balls, bibs and electrical equipment.
We are a basketball club based in West Yorkshire. We have being running since 2010. We started out as 5 friends who enjoyed playing basketball playing on an outdoor court. Over time we have grown the club each year. Going in to the 2025/26 season we will have 4 male adults teams, and under 16's, 14's, 12's a female community session and a mixed community session. We always look to run fundraisers to try and keep the cost down for player as we are in a low income area.
The mens teams play in various divisions across the Leeds Basketball League. The U16's and 14's will be playing in National League competitions and the U12's will represent the clubs at monthly tournaments.
To raise funds we shall be doing a costal walk from Scarborough to Whitby Leisure Centre. There will be a group of players that are not taking part in the walk but will be playing in a fixture against a team from within our league structure but at the moment this is to be confirmed. The walk its self will be approximately 22 miles in length and the walkers will aim to arrive at the leisure centre for 3pm so they can watch the 2 teams play in their fixture. There will be some video updates as we move along the coast as well as pictures. the game will be on video also on your tube channel.
We are raising money for new training equipment across all groups. The main items will be new balls to be used for training and games. We shall be looking at getting new bibs for the junior programmes as well as other equipment to enhance the training quality at the club. We shall also be looking at new electrical equipment to help aid recording of games on match days as well as items that will help in player preparation and recover after games.
We shall be spending the money raised on the list below. the quantities will change depending on the money raise for the club.
Wilson EVO NXT balls cost £84.95 each
Wilson Evolution Balls cost £54.95 each
Hy-Pro Bibs Cost £18.00 for 10 bibs
Agility ladders £8.99 per set
Cones per stack £9.99
Massage Gun £25
Xbot Go Camera and stand £320
It will impact the community as they gain more equipment and allow them to access better quality sessions for basketball. We have a late group of under privileged players and getting access to things like this helps them develop in numerous different ways. With lower fees it makes the sport accessible for these players and helps to keep them off the streets and getting into trouble in the local area. It also helps them with their social skills, where they can make and build new friendships and mental wellbeing as it allows a place for them to channel any stresses they may have.
