As we near the end of the year we want to talk specifically about the growth of the Women & Girls game and their on-court achievements.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to Sport England and the National Lottery throughout 2024 we have been able to extend our offer of Basketball For All<\/strong> \u00a0<\/em>to an extra 90 girls across the City through specific girls only basketball sessions.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"
MK Breakers U16 Girls were crowned National Champions back in May.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Locally, our U10 and and U12 Girls teams both became Champions of the Breakers CBL<\/a> back in July, which is our own intraclub mixed league, supported by our partners at Brioche Pasquier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Head of Girls Basketball and Senior Women’s player Paige Vase added,<\/strong> “It\u2019s 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.”<\/em><\/p>\n

From the bottom of the pyramid to the top our Women & Girls are leading the charge!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
