Calderdale Explorers Basketball Club

We are looking for sponsorship for our junior section which currently provides and encourages over 100 children to get physically and socialty active within the Calderdale area and enjoy the benefits that come with regular physical activity and personal development gained through organised sport sponsorship providing equipment (balls, ball racks, kits and bibs) . We host regular monthly CVL's Mini Leagues which attract other teams from Yorkshire, Lancashire and Humberside so branding and sponsorship will gain further exposure. The club also does outreach in local schools and community events,.

We follow the Basketball England “Training Pathway” standards and guidelines in regard to player and coach development. We currently play our home games at North Halifax Grammar in Halifax but also attract players from communities and towns in Calderdale and the surrounding area. All of our sessions are delivered by Qualified and Licensed Basketball England coaches

We look to promote and value the ideals of teamwork, friendship, respect and self-discipline whilst creating a sporting environment that will benefit a person’s individual’s holistic development, while always being aware that basketball is a team sport.We look to attain financial stability through subscriptions, fundraising activities and sponsorship and grants in order to fund court hire, equipment, referees, governance, playing kits and to ensure our coaching team have the necessary coaching qualifications.
All officials and coaching teams at the club are volunteers and give their time and commitment for the love of the game, a game that we love.

At Senior Level we run two teams Calderdale Explorers ( Seniors ) play in National Basketball League Division 3 whilst our sister club Queenbury Hawks C compete in the Leeds Local League Division 2 .

At Junior level we have 3 sections Minis which is for 8 to 12 year olds . The players will play competitively at selected round robin events in our very own mini leagues throughout the year but at this level the focus is very much based at learning the fundamental skills of the game as opposed to competitive play .

Our Under 14 age group (13 and 14 year olds) play competitively at selected round robin events in our very own mini leagues throughout the year and also will generally play selected friendly games against other clubs.

Our Under 16 team plays competitively in Basketball England National Leagues , however it is not mandatory for players who attend to play for team and we are happy for anyone to come along and get basketball training .
