Braintree Blue Devils is and always has been a family forged through a love of the game and a shared goal of expanding the prominence of basketball in Essex, something we pride ourselves in.

Our coaches and committee work together to enable the existence of the club, giving up their time and energy to benefit the community and the young players that have found a home with the Blue Devils.

With a decade of operation and development behind us, we are now entering a new chapter in our club’s story with plenty of new and exciting things to come so watch this space!

Basketball is a sport that can and should be enjoyed by anyone – this is why we operate on a first-come, first-served basis with regard to team registration. No trials. No prerequisites. The only criteria are the motivations to learn the game, develop skills, and become a positive contribution to the team.

Success is not strictly achieved by ‘winning’ games. Basketball is a sport, and the objective in sport is to win. However, for our players that have never picked up a ball or made a lay-up, they will find success in achieving these things. Braintree has had great successes over the years from entire teams winning titles, to individuals that have gone on to represent the county/region or aspire program.
