Our Club

At City of Edinburgh Basketball Club, we're all about creating opportunities for everyone to play and compete in local, regional, and national leagues.

We offer a fun and rewarding experience, developing the sporting and leadership talents of our young people and making a real difference in our communities.

Our high-quality basketball development is led by qualified and experienced coaches in a supportive and progressive environment. We offer basketball for children aged 5 and up, and we’re proud of the achievements of our players, coaches, and volunteers who work hard every week to support and further the Club.

We’re a registered charity (SC045199) based at Portobello, Holyrood  and Castlebrae High Schools and Edinburgh College Granton Campus, run by a dedicated volunteer committee, volunteer members and coaches.
