Ethos

Basketball is a sport that can and should be enjoyed by anyone – this is why we operate on a first-come, first-served basis with regard to team registration. No trials. No prerequisites. The only criteria are the motivations to learn the game, develop skills, and become a positive contribution to the team.

Success is not strictly achieved by ‘winning’ games. Basketball is a sport, and the objective in sport is to win. However, for our players that have never picked up a ball or made a lay-up, they will find success in achieving these things. Braintree has had great successes over the years from entire teams winning titles, to individuals that have gone on to represent the county/region or aspire program.

There is a real sense of community.

My son Jake has recently joined Braintree Basketball club. From my initial enquiry I found the club admin very helpful and efficient, providing me with all the relevant joining info needed to get signed up.

Lindsey Street

Braintree Basketball Club (Blue Devils) is the first sporting club that my son has joined where he has thrived.

Kellie Cocca

My son, aged 12, only joined last this season but it has been the best thing he has ever done.

Susan Kane

My son has come on in leaps and bounds since starting back playing basketball with the Devils in 2021. He has always suffered with severe shyness to the point of mutism but with coach Liam’s kind, considered and supportive approach he has managed to overcome the issues that were holding him back and make new friends, happily receive constructive criticism and all whilst getting fitter and healthier.

Lisa

The team spirit and the other players have helped him believe in himself. Its a community for the children and us parents.

Layla Np Mcilveen

After a really tough start to secondary school life in year 7 with Covid restricting life and no clubs to go to, Thomas was thrilled in year 8 when we got the call to try out for Braintree Blue Devils.
