The club, named Smethwick Sparks, aims to offer more than just basketball training. Its mission is to foster teamwork, leadership, and personal growth while keeping youth active and engaged in a positive setting. The program will cater to all skill levels, from beginners picking up a ball for the first time to experienced players looking to get Scholarships and play abroad.
This club will provide young people with structure, mentorship, and a sense of belonging. We want to build confident, healthy, and resilient individuals on and off the court.
The club is set to hold regular training sessions, weekend games, and community events. Coaches will be certified and focused on creating a supportive atmosphere where each player can thrive. There are also plans to host holiday camps, invite guest speakers from the professional basketball world, and participate in national competitions, with some individuals able to represent their region.
