Hi and welcome to the website of the City of Sheffield Saints Basketball Club. The Saints formed in the summer of 2006 and are a part of the City of Sheffield Basketball Club (COSBBC). As a new team, the Saints competed in EBL Division 4-North last season, narrowly missing out on final of the National Shield competition but finishing 2nd in the division, qualifying for the playoffs. After defeating Glamorgan and Southampton in the quarter- and semi-finals respectively, the Saints could not overcome Oxford Brookes and had to settle for runners up medals.

Although disappointed with losing the final by only 6 points, the Saints did enough in their first season to secure promotion to Division 3 and are looking forward to this year's campaign with renewed enthusiasm. The coaching team of Garnet Gayle and Pete Olusoga returns once again and the Saints have recruited over the summer to bolster their squad and add some strength in depth.



The Saints will continue to play their home games at All Saints School, Norfolk Park Road, and the Saints are still looking to develop strong links with the school by providing some of the older pupils with the opportunity to experience National League basketball. The Saints Basketball club also aims to forge links with the surrounding community and we are happy to trial players from other schools across the city who are perhaps leaving, or in their final year of school, and are looking for a good standard of club basketball.

Details of our next home games will appear on this website and a full fixture list with links to match reports can also be found by clicking here. So come along and support the Saints in their second season of National League basketball as they look to build on last year's success and bring some silverware to Sheffield.
