East Cambs Basketball Club, were formed when two basketball clubs in the East Cambridgeshire Area, Witchford Warriors and Ely Flames, merged in August 2014.

The club is based at the new Hive Leisure Centre on the new Leisure Park in Ely, Cambridgeshire and Kings School, Ely.  We run 4 junior teams at Under 12/14/16/18 age levels and a senior men’s team. The Senior men and Junior teams are The East Cambs Warriors and the female team are the East Cambs Amazons.

Our Senior Men’s and Under 18 junior teams are based at The Hive Leisure Centre in Ely, Cambs on the new Ely Leisure Park.  This fantastic facility is helping us to promote the game of basketball to the East Cambridgeshire community.  Due to the pandemic, The Hive is currently unavailable to us, so instead the senior and under 18 training is currently taking place in the sports hall at Cromwell Community College in Chatteris.

This season 2021-2022 our senior Men’s team continue to play in the Nene Valley Basketball League, which is a central venue league played on Friday night in Stanground, Peterborough, we will be entering two teams this year one in Division 1 and one in Divsion 2.  We will also be entering our second in the Cambridge Basketball League, playing in Division 2.

Our Junior programme for our Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16 teams (ages 8-15) is based in the sports hall at Kings School, Ely.  Kings School have been a great supporter of our junior basketball programme since we merged with Ely Flames, allowing us to use the Sports Hall for free.

Our junior teams in season 2019-2020 have not played many games due to lack of numbers, but over the season this has improved greatly and as basketball continues to grow so will our club.  We hope to provide competitive basketball in season 2020-2021 to all next year!

The club and all its players and coaching staff are registered with Basketball England.  Our coaches are qualified with Basketball England at either Level 1 or Level 2.  All of our coaches are fully DBS checked and also have qualifications in Safeguarding and First Aid.

We provide fun but intense training sessions with the essence of the training on player development, focusing on the fundamentals of the game, helping the players to develop hand/eye coordination, team work and confidence in their own abilities.  So if you are new to the game, want to get back into the game, or are seriously interested in playing, please get in touch.

We continue to try to grow the game and the club in the East Cambs area and have support from our kit and equipment supplier Bigfoot Basketball and our merchandise supplier Sigma Embroidery.  As a club we are always looking for new partnership and sponsorship opportunities, so if you would like to be part of this amazing family then please get in touch.
