2025–26 was the first season we ran standalone U10 and U12 Girls’ divisions in the Surrey CVL. It’s a small start, but a meaningful one: female-only playing spaces where girls set the pace, develop with their peers, and see other girls taking part alongside them.
Our work sits alongside Basketball England’s national programmes to grow the women’s and girls’ game – and we’re proud that one of our clubs, Reading Rockets, is a Her World, Her Rules delivery partner.
FIBA’s flagship girls’ basketball campaign, now in its fourth year in the UK. Female-only sessions for girls aged 6–15, building confidence on and off the court.
