Exeter Spartans Basketball Club

A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Exeter Spartans End of Season Presentation Night.

It was a fantastic evening celebrating the achievements, growth, and commitment shown across the club throughout the 2025/26 season. From our youngest Spartans to our senior teams, it was great to come together and recognise the players, coaches, volunteers, officials, and families who make this club so special.

Congratulations to all of our award winners and to every player who represented the Spartans this season. Your hard work, dedication, and passion for the game continue to drive the club forward.

A special thank you to our coaches, team managers, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters. Without your time, energy, and commitment, none of this would be possible.

As we reflect on another memorable season, we’re already excited for what’s ahead. Enjoy the summer, and we’ll see you back on court soon.

Once a Spartan, always a Spartan. 🛡️🏀
