Welcome to Whiteley Warriors! As the the original development club within the Warriors Academy, Whiteley was founded with a clear mission: to grow the game of basketball for young people in Hampshire. The club is now a recognised and respected force in local basketball. It offers a fantastic opportunity for players to train, play and progress in the Whiteley area, within our exciting grassroots basketball environment. Sessions are ideal for players at all stages — whether you're just getting started or aiming to step up your game. Committed players benefit from top-tier coaching, internal competitions and a long-term development pathway with links to National League opportunities with Warriors Elite.
