We had 123 Young People attend over 4 days at Shenley Brook End School.

A big shout out to Enyos Cusine who provided lunch everday for the young people and staff, and as always Brioche Pasquier provided snacks for everyone throughout the week.

Community Coach Leon Page

It has been great to see the development of the young people throughout the week, a lot of them have never met each other or played basketball before so to see how they have developed friendships and grown in confidence through the week is great to see.

If you’re eligible for these camps keep your eyes open for dates in the summer holidays!

Saturday morning , the MK Breakers Community Foundation, witnessed an incredible turnout for our girls event – Her World, Her Rules, a superb showcase of the women’s basketball through community engagement. Our lead Community Coach and MK Breakers player, Paige Vyse, supported by Basketball England, organised a free on-and-off-court extravaganza for 150 girls, most playing basketball for the very first time.

The event was a resounding success, attracting such a level of interest that disappointingly we could not accommodate all the girls that had initially shown interest in attending . In line with the ‘Her World’ philosophy, it was members of the MK Breakers Senior Women’s team and female Club volunteers that worked with the girls in engaging coaching stations and empowering classroom sessions.

Highlights of the day:

– 150 FREE T shirts given away

– 150 FREE basketballs given away (sponsored by Sport MK)

– FREE snacks provided by Community Partner Brioche Pasquier

– On-court age group coaching sessions for girls school years 4-9

– Workshops hosted by local charities and community groups supporting women and girls – FREE admission to the MK Breakers vs Bromsgrove Division 2 title decider ( almost 300 watched!)

Community Coach lead Paige Vyse commented:

Basketball is a great educational tool for communication, leadership and teamwork. Alongside this, playing sport is a great way to support physical and mental health. Establishing these habits early definitely helps set girls up for success in the future.

 A truly awesome Saturday morning of girls basketball, Her World – Her Rules , backed by FIBA was a huge success showcasing and promoting girls basketball and helping to increasing participation worldwide. MK Breakers – the home of GIRLS basketball in Milton Keynes

Over the past couple of years, it has become evident that our efforts are extending beyond basketball to encompass broader social responsibilities. With the increased recognition of the Breakers across over 110 primary and secondary schools in Milton Keynes, we now have the opportunity to engage with students on topics such as physical activity, healthy eating, mental health, and safety.

From the outset, we have emphasised that the MK Breakers are a grassroots basketball community. Whilst we are not surprised by our rapid growth and success on the court, we want to ensure we have the correct foundations in place to sustain this growth and offer basketball to all.

We have transformed into a social enterprise with the capacity to influence and change young people’s lives. Establishing the MK Breakers Community Foundation was the logical next step, and we are excited to see what lies ahead!

MK Breakers- The home of basketball in Milton Keynes

The post MK Breakers Community Foundation appeared first on MK Breakers Basketball Club.

Founded in September 2017, the MK Breakers, formerly known as the Milton Keynes Basketball Foundation, have been dedicated to providing opportunities for boys and girls to play basketball at both community and elite levels. With a mission to make Milton Keynes a major basketball destination in the UK, the MK Breakers have grown from a small group of 40 players to a thriving community of over 1000 boys and girls across six local basketball centres.

Peter Taylor, Founder and Chairman of the MK Breakers Foundation, commented, ‘We are proud to announce that Brioche Pasquier have agreed to become our Community Partner for the next 2 seasons. It was clear from my first meeting with Ryan that Brioche share the same level of enthusiasm and commitment to the local youth of Milton Keynes and they have clearly demonstrated this by sponsoring our Community Basketball League, community kits, and allowing us to offer anyone who wants to join our basketball community a FREE taster session.

Brioche have also generously sponsored our Senior Men’s Player of the Game, and are the main sponsor of our Hoops For Health programme, which will see our Senior players and coaches visit up to 50 local primary schools to talk with boys and girls about the benefits of exercise and activity.

Brioche have quietly supported us for the past 12 months by purchasing T shirts for players and fans alike for our various League Play Off and Cup Final games, so we were delighted when Brioche said yes to becoming our first ever major sponsor from the MK business community’.

Brioche Pasquier, a French family bakery with history dating back to 1936, and established in Milton Keynes since 2014, has always prioritised community support. This partnership aligns perfectly with their values and commitment to the local community.

“We are proud to sponsor the MK Basketball Foundation and support their mission of making basketball accessible to as many people as possible, as well as to inspire and support young athletes, guiding them to unlock their full potential”

“At Brioche Pasquier, we believe in giving back to the communities where we operate, whether through supporting local businesses, hiring locally, or contributing to charities—because being connected to our community is at the heart of who we are. We also understand the positive impact of team sports in bringing people together.” Ryan Peters, Managing Director at Brioche Pasquier UK.

Together, Brioche Pasquier and the MK Breakers look forward to an exciting and successful partnership, bringing more opportunities and growth to the local basketball scene.

Thanks to Sport England and the National Lottery throughout 2024 we have been able to extend our offer of Basketball For All  to an extra 90 girls across the City through specific girls only basketball sessions.

We now have over 200 registered female junior members, with the programme seeing huge success; The U16 Girls team won the 2024 National Championship, with the U14 Girls also finishing as runners-up and the U12 Girls finishing the season undefeated.

Locally, our U10 and and U12 Girls teams both became Champions of the Breakers CBL back in July, which is our own intraclub mixed league, supported by our partners at Brioche Pasquier. 

It’s no coincidence that the 2024/25 season has seen the launch of our first Senior Women’s team as they take their first steps in WNBL Division 2 currently sitting top of the league.

Head of Girls Basketball and Senior Women’s player Paige Vase added, “It’s exciting to witness, not only all the female talent coming from the club, but the ever growing passion for girls basketball in Milton Keynes. With the club offering a great pathway, there are multiple opportunities for girls of every age and ability to be involved. We are building something really special.”

From the bottom of the pyramid to the top our Women & Girls are leading the charge!

We are so grateful to Zoho for their support, allowing us to expand our community initiatives to reach more people and give back to the local area.“
