Our Vision

Our Vision for Chase Basketballers is for them to become as good as they wish to be and can be. In a team this may mean becoming a great shooter, passer, rebounder or defender. It also means becoming a great teammate and sportsperson. We love to see our players make a great shot or great pass, but equally, we love seeing our players help an opponent off the floor and being a good sport after a loss or win.

We want to help you become as good as you can be.
We want to follow and be a part of your career.
We want Chase Basketballers to take what they learn from us and pass this onto others in the future.
We want you to become a good person.
