History

---

The Northants Basketball Club came into existence in May 2007. It had evolved directly from the competitive arm of the Northants Schools Basketball Association but a more structured format was needed in order to access a Development Grant from England Basketball. That grant was duly obtained and added to the PFI development at Northampton School for Girls, part of which was the building of a new sports hall. The England Basketball grant meant that the new build would be a two court venue, with a show court and limited spectator accommodation. The good news for the new basketball club was that they would have limited but exclusive use of the facility in the evenings and at weekends.

In September 2008 the Northants Basketball Club moved into the Northants Basketball Centre for all team practices and games. The Centre has been the club’s home since that time.
