Deighton Basketball Club

Welcome to the Official Deighton Basketball Club page. Keep up to date with the latest news and content, engage with the club and fellow supporters.

The name Deighton and Basketball has been synonymous for thirty years plus, going back to the late seventies, early eighties. The initial setting up of Deighton Basketball was in conjunction with the local Youth Centre, which formed the focus of youth activities in the Deighton area of Huddersfield. Deighton Basketball as continued to be very successful due to the hard work and dedication of the D

eighton Demons (mens) and Deighton Diamonds (women & girls) teams who have run their clubs independently in recent years. Junior Basketball development has also continued in recent years, with regular Coaching sessions every Thursday evening at the Deighton Sports Arena (6.00pm – 7.00pm) for 8 – 16 year olds, lead by Level 2 coach Marcus Browne, who moved to the area from Leeds and brings with him a wealth of Basketball experience and skill. In addition we are very fortunate to have local Level 2 Coaches Eugene Andrew and Hassan Haq assisting with the future development of our Juniors. Through-out 2009 numbers averaged between 6 and 12 players, but in 2010 we were rewarded for all the hard work by our coaches with an influx of young players taking the average up to 22 per session . In 2010 we also acquired the services of a very talented young local coach, Aaron Allison, to assist our Coaches with Junior development. Aaron will this year be looking to gain is Basketball Level 1 qualifications. We are now looking to improve on the foundations that we now have in place. Our long term goal of having both Senior and Junior teams for both Men, Women, Boys & Girls running parallel so that Deighton Basketball can continue for a further thirty years has begun. Crucial development links and support has recently started from the newly appointed West Yorkshire Basketball Development Officer Louise Purdy, who is employed by West Yorkshire Sport to encourage Basketball in the region. We recognise there are a number of talented Junior Basketball Players in the surrounding Communities and if we can help develop them, then in turn they and ourselves will benefit. We are looking to return to the successful days where the local Community turned out in numbers to watch Deighton Basketball Ladies, Men and Junior Teams. We look forward to our Basketball Club going from strength to strength in the future.
