Ipswich Basketball

Ipswich Basketball is one of the most rapidly growing basketball clubs in the East of England. In the last two years it has grown from 50 talented players to over 90, and has added over 200 community registered players.

Basketball is a sport with a very strong focus on discipline and teamwork, and the training at Ipswich Basketball is structured to re-enforce these aspects. The club has been instrumental in helping to reform some once troublesome teenagers into exemplary members of the squad by integrating them into a well defined structure and promoting teamwork as a key to success.

The club has a very record of involving parents in the running of the club and developing the players into future coaches and officials. The parents of each team work hard to raise the funds necessary for these qualifications and some players have now achieved Level 1 standard in coaching and officiating.

The club is looking to expand and applied to Cash4Clubs to raise the funds necessary to initiate a new women's team aimed at the 16+ league, the classic age for girls to drop out of exercise.

Bernard Ball commented on the scheme "We are permanently raising money ourselves through the weekly player subscriptions and fund raising events, however external sponsorship is also critical for us if we are to develop the programmes. The £1,000 provided by Cash4Clubs has greatly helped our cause so thank you for your support!"
