Harlow Hawks Basketball Club

Extra photos from the last U11 JCVL, a big shoutout to Two Times Photography UK for this amazing photos.

What a season it has been for our U11 Hawks teams!
The Hawks White squad finished an impressive 3rd place in the league, securing two comfortable victories on Finals Day and only falling to the eventual league champions, Essex Swish. While an early-season slip-up ultimately cost them the chance of finishing 2nd overall, the team should be incredibly proud of their achievements, commitment, and development throughout the year.
Our Hawks Red development team showed tremendous character all season. Made up of young players who were new to league basketball, they battled hard in every game and never stopped competing. Despite three tough losses on Finals Day, they finished 9th in a highly competitive 10-team league and gained invaluable experience that will help them grow as players for years to come.
There have been highs, lows, celebrations, and disappointments along the way, but both teams have shown fantastic effort, sportsmanship, and resilience throughout the season.
A huge thank you to all the players, coaches, volunteers, and parents for your support. The future is bright for Harlow Hawks basketball! 🦅💙❤️

🏀 Half‑Term Basketball Camp – Secondary Group ☀️

What a day for our secondary group at the half‑term camp. On one of the hottest days of the year, we were very grateful the hall had just enough air‑con to keep everyone going. The players pushed through it with brilliant energy, focus, and attitude.

From drill work to skill stations and everything in between, the effort was outstanding. Every player gave their all, and judging by how hard they worked, they’ll definitely sleep well tonight.

A huge thank you to our guest coach Josh Steel for bringing his experience and enthusiasm to the session, and to our Hawks coaches Coach Shabs and Coach Stu for giving up their time to make this camp happen.

Hopefully everyone had a great time, picked up a few new skills, and enjoyed a fantastic day of basketball.

🦅 Well done, Hawks

We had our first girls tournament here in Harlow at the Mark Hall Sports Centre on Sunday afternoon.
The U11’s started us off from 13:30 until 15:30. For all of them it was their first time playing proper games and they did brilliantly. Fabulous energy. Playing great basketball and learning while they went along.
Then we had the U17’s from 13:45 to 17:45. There were 4 teams and all played great basketball. Very intense at times. With some great wins.
Well done to all the players and coaches that took part. Thank you all for coming.
A huge thank you as always to our refs and table officials, we could not do this without you.
And thank you to Coach Shab for making this all happen. Can’t wait for the next one.

Our final basketball age group U11 trials started last night — another fantastic turnout! 🏀👏

Good luck tonight to everyone attending. Give it your all, work hard, and enjoy every minute! 💪

See you at the next trial! 🙌

🏀 Hawks U14 & U17/18 – Second Trial Complete! 🦅

Another brilliant day of basketball as both age groups wrapped up their second trial session. The energy, effort, and commitment from every single player were outstanding. You all pushed yourselves, supported each other, and made the coaches’ job incredibly tough — which is exactly what strong trials should look like.

Both trials have been a huge success, and we couldn’t be prouder of the standard shown across the board.

A massive thank you to all the coaches for giving up their time to make these sessions happen. Your dedication is what keeps this club moving forward.

And to every player — whether you make the team or not — you should be proud of yourselves. You showed heart, attitude, and a willingness to compete. That’s what being a Hawk is all about.

Now comes the hard part… selecting the teams for next season. Exciting times ahead.

Hawks family strong 🦅🔥

Great start to our U14 and U17/18 basketball trials last night! 🏀

Fantastic turnout across both age groups this year — it’s great to see so much enthusiasm and talent on display. A big well done to everyone who attended and gave it their all.

Good luck to all players, and we’ll see you again this Sunday for the final trial session!

🏀 Final U14 JCVL of the Season – What a Journey! 🦅

A big day for our Hawks as the U14s wrapped up their JCVL season.

🔴 Hawks Reds came in looking to finish the season unbeaten and secure the league title. They may have lost their unbeaten run with a tough game against the Gators, but they bounced back brilliantly to win their second game — and most importantly, they brought home the league title. Massive congratulations to the squad, and a huge shout out to Coach Rich for leading his team all the way to the top.

⚪ Hawks Whites were fighting to finish the season with pride, and they absolutely did that. Despite two losses, they battled hard in both games and showed real heart and determination. They should be proud of the effort they put in today and throughout the season.

A huge thank you to all the players, coaches, officials, and parents who show up week after week to support the kids and keep the programme thriving.

And most importantly, an enormous thank you to Coach Shabs for all his hard work, organisation, and dedication in making these JCVLs happen. None of this would be possible without him.

Roll on next season — the Hawks family keeps growing stronger 🦅🔥
