Hot on the heels of the expansion of our Under 9 and 11 sessions at Cardinal Newman college, we are delighted to announce the expansion of our girls offering.

The girls team train at Myerscough College on Tuesday evenings which has been the key training session for our U19 team who won the Basketball England North West Regional League last season. We have seen significant interest in younger girls looking to get involved and indeed several are currently attending our mixed Under 11 sessions at Newman College.

So we are supporting the expansion of the sessions to run 2 age groups as of Tuesday 30th September:

Under 12s - School Years 3-7 - Tuesday - 5:15pm-6:15pm
Under 19s - School Years 8-13 - Tuesday - 6:15pm-7:45pm

This will create space for more Under 12 girls to attend the sessions as well as allowing the Under 19 team to focus on performance ahead of their title defence.

The Under 12 sessions will be predominantly coached by Mike Bernard, a resident coach at Myerscough and an incredibly experienced ex-professional player most notably for Manchester Giants.

The Under 19 sessions will continue to be coached by Coach Mark and Jeremy to build on their victorious season just gone. There are a few spaces left within the squad for newcomers to join also.

To request to join either session or for more information please email us at joinus@prestonbasketball.com. The first session is free to try and memberships thereafter are £24/month for the U12 session and £32/month for the U19 session.

To help with finding the venue we have created a video which can be viewed here.

We can't wait to see the sessions grow and to get more girls involved in the sport.
