Weekly Training Sessions
At Bourne Bulldogs Basketball Club, we offer engaging and dynamic training sessions every Saturday. Our goal is to provide young athletes with the fundamental skills they need to excel in basketball, while fostering a fun in a team-oriented environment. We welcome players of all skill levels—from beginners to seasoned players, and ensure that every child is given the opportunity to grow at their own pace.
Every session includes individual skill development, in-game scenarios, and concludes with a friendly game, ensuring a mix of learning, competition and fun!

Our programs are designed to help children not only improve their basketball skills but also gain valuable life skills such as:
Learning to play as a team
Building self-confidence
Enhancing communication and listening skills
Developing leadership abilities
Improving fitness and athleticism
And above all—having fun!
Expert Coaching & Safe Environment
Your child’s development is in good hands with our head coach, Martin Read, a Basketball England Level 2 coach and former national league player. Martin brings years of experience coaching at the highest levels, including with the Great Britain ladies' team. All our coaches are Basketball England certified, and the club is fully insured. Safety is a top priority, with all staff holding DBS certificates and NSPCC certification for child protection in sport.
We ensure that children play at appropriate ability levels to ensure their safety and development.
Tournaments & Competitive Play
We believe that competition is a great way for young players to test their skills, work as a team, and grow their love for the game. Our club participates in local tournaments and friendly matches, with plans to enter a league next season. These experiences not only help players develop their abilities but also foster teamwork and a sense of community.
