Trafford Basketball Club is a community club committed to supporting young players at every stage of their basketball journey. Whether your child is completely new to the game or already showing strong potential, we’re here to help them grow, develop, and enjoy the sport.

Training Sessions

The club runs both recreational and team based training sessions at Manor Academy in Sale. Sessions are led by our experienced team of senior coaches, who are passionate about helping every player reach their full potential in a positive and supportive environment.

Weekend Recreational Sessions

Our weekend sessions are open to players of all abilities and experience levels. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and welcoming club, and these sessions are designed to be accessible, enjoyable, and supportive for everyone.

They’re ideal for:

• New members
• Children new to basketball
• Players who want to play for fun and stay active

Please note that the club is currently oversubscribed and we are running waitlists for the majority of our year groups. In order to add your child to a waitlist please complete our membership enquiry form.

Some players show an appetite for more challenging basketball, and may be approached by our coaches to participate in team training and local recreational basketball leagues.

Weekday Team Training

Our team training sessions take place on weekday evenings and offer more advanced skill development and competitive play. We currently have 21 teams competing in the Stockport Sports for All regional basketball league.

While these sessions are more structured and competitive, we continue to place fun and player development at the heart of everything we do. Players are usually invited to join teams based on their progress and potential shown in the weekend sessions.

Player Development

We’re proud to offer a player development pathway that has seen many of our players progress to national league level through our partnership with the Manchester Giants.

In addition, a number of our players have been selected for the Basketball England Aspire Programme — a national talent development initiative designed to identify and nurture the most promising young players across the country. Aspire provides high-quality coaching and training opportunities, helping players take the next step in their basketball careers.

We’re also extremely proud to have had Trafford players go on to represent England at junior international level, a testament to the strength of our coaching and the dedication of our young athletes.
