Basketball

Welcome to West Yorkshire Basketball...

We aim to provide all the information you need on basketball across the county whether you're just starting up or you're the next Kobe Bryant...

The pages on the right contain contact details for basketball development officers and coaches across West Yorkshire and contact details for local clubs. There are also links to FREE resources from England Basketball to get people back playing basketball, and for those interested in casual competitions. These resources are great for Sport Makers!!

We would love to hear from you if you would like to be involved in Basketball in West Yorkshire!

Try Basketball

There are sessions happening across the county on a 'come and try' basis. These vary from college and university sessions, to community sessions run by clubs. Many will include some training to improve your playing skills and informal competitions. To find your nearest session please click here.

New opportunities are becoming available across West Yorkshire. If you have an open competition or session then please contact Briony Farrell and get your session advertised here.

Central Venue Leagues

Central Venue leagues are an ideal way to play basketball. In West Yorkshire we have established Central Venue Leagues for junior players which regularly welcome new teams. They are a great introduction to competition for new players and for those who do not want to play at National League level. The costs for both CVLs are kept to a minimum to cover referees and court hire and currently stand at £3 per player. Please contact us to enter a team. We would love to see you!!

It's such a great sport for being able to meet people. I'm so glad I started to play again.

I love basketball because it's the perfect team game, fast paced, very technical, and extremely addictive. Once you start playing basketball it becomes a massive part of your life, and never leaves you. I love basketball because it is my life!!

I love basketball because it's exciting and helps me meet people and make new friends. It has become my life and I wouldn't change it for anything

I love basketball because its a release for me.
You don't need to be at an NBA level to enjoy the game, and I am definitely not at a Jeremy Lin! But wherever I am, whoever I'm with, I can always instantly feel like myself as soon as I play or watch the game! :D
