The U16s Blues are one of our two U16s squads, for players in school Years 10 and 11. They play in the Basketball England National League (East Conference III), alongside our U16s Reds.
At this age the game gets quicker and more physical, and the focus is on sharpening skills, reading the game and playing as a team. It’s a committed squad that trains hard, backs each other up and enjoys competing.
Both U16s squads are picked at our yearly trials. Want to find out more? Fill in our player interest form and we’ll be in touch.
