Join the Raiders
Junior basketball in Newport, from Under 8s right through to Under 18s. New players welcome — no experience needed.
Every age group
U8 to U18
Players stay with the club as they grow. Wherever your kid is starting, there's a team for them.
We're looking for U8 and U10 players right now. These are our youngest teams — the ones we're building from the ground up. First-timers are exactly who we want.
