YOUR LOCAL BASKETBALL HUB

Basketball in Ashford

Find basketball in Ashford with Kent Panthers at Chilmington Green Secondary School. Our Monday-evening Development Hub helps young players learn the fundamentals, build confidence and enjoy a structured basketball session.

Our Ashford basketball hub runs on Monday evenings, with an U12 listing and a combined U14/U16 listing. Both currently meet from 7.00–8.00pm. Choose the appropriate group and check its age eligibility before booking.

Our Development Hubs focus on enjoyment and progress: dribbling, passing, shooting, movement and playing as a team. Beginners are welcome. You do not need to be ready for National League basketball to take your first step.
