As we near the end of the year we want to talk specifically about the growth of the Women & Girls game and their on-court achievements.
Thanks to Sport England and the National Lottery throughout 2024 we have been able to extend our offer of Basketball For All to an extra 90 girls across the City through specific girls only basketball sessions.
We now have over 200 registered female junior members, with the programme seeing huge success; The U16 Girls team won the 2024 National Championship, with the U14 Girls also finishing as runners-up and the U12 Girls finishing the season undefeated.
Locally, our U10 and and U12 Girls teams both became Champions of the Breakers CBL back in July, which is our own intraclub mixed league, supported by our partners at Brioche Pasquier.
It’s no coincidence that the 2024/25 season has seen the launch of our first Senior Women’s team as they take their first steps in WNBL Division 2 currently sitting top of the league.
Head of Girls Basketball and Senior Women’s player Paige Vase added, “It’s exciting to witness, not only all the female talent coming from the club, but the ever growing passion for girls basketball in Milton Keynes. With the club offering a great pathway, there are multiple opportunities for girls of every age and ability to be involved. We are building something really special.”
From the bottom of the pyramid to the top our Women & Girls are leading the charge!
