A new first step into basketball 🏀

Coastal Ballers Basketball launches today at East Norfolk Sixth Form College, creating a new community entry point for younger beginners and a clearer pathway into Great Yarmouth Basketball Club.

The programme is run through East Norfolk as an expansion of its successful Coastal Ballers football offer, with basketball sessions led by Coach George Patterson.

Coastal Ballers is designed primarily for children in School Years 2–6 who are new to basketball or not yet ready for regular team training.

Players in School Year 4 or above who already have basketball experience and are actively looking to play team basketball should normally begin directly in our U11 Development programme instead.

The first East Norfolk session takes place tonight, with a second hub launching at Ormiston Denes Academy in Lowestoft this September.

Coastal Ballers offers beginner-friendly £4 basketball sessions for children in School Years 2–6 at East Norfolk and Ormiston Denes Academy.
