Our club was founded in 2014 by Joe Locker and Simon Griffiths, who were determined to establish a local basketball team for the youth in Uttoxeter. Frustrated by the lack of options within a 20-mile radius, they decided to take matters into their own hands. Since then, with the assistance of many dedicated individuals, Joe and Simon have coached countless hours of basketball, impacting the lives of numerous young athletes.
In 2020, the club welcomed Ben Sampson as the head coach. Ben's extensive experience playing in the National league, coupled with his genuine passion for the game, made him the perfect addition to the coaching staff.
