London Greenhouse Pioneers basketball team is our community basketball club. We have strong links with education establishments and local youth clubs across London. Our aim is to help develop a pathway for young people through basketball to become confident and skilful players.
Our committed coaching staff and volunteers have over 70 years of experience between them in coaching young people from age 5-18 (in Under 10 & U12 mixed, Under 14s, Under 16s, Under 18 boys’ teams) and our Senior men Team. New players are always welcomed and start by attending the Greenhouse Pioneers local teams and training sessions, where they will be taught to be team players whilst developing their individual skills and techniques to help improve their game, plan their pathway to reach their goals. Players are selected and encouraged to represent the Greenhouse Pioneers in Basketball England National League (NBL), where our teams compete in both league and Cup competitions. This season we are also partaking in Central Basketball League for U10s and U16 girls to help build the club, increase participant knowledge, provide opportunities for club growth.
Players are chosen to play each match based on three things rather than just ability.
- Behaviour – on and off the basketball court
- Commitment – attending practice and punctuality (being on time)
- Effort – the amount of effort they put in during practice and being a team player
