Who are we?

We are Braintree Basketball Club. Based in Braintree, Essex, the club is a community of players, coaches and volunteers; 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.
