We have a mixture of staff who have been involved previously and some exciting new coaches joining the program. The Board is look forward to seeing what they can bring to Welsh basketball"

Welcome return of the U20 men

We are also excited to announced that we have been able to reintroduce the U20 men age group for the 2019/20 season, with a coach that's new to the Welsh programme but as head coach of NBL Divison One side Nottingham Hoods, he's not short on experience.
