A unique game of physical ability speed, vision, strength, technique, and fitness
It nurtures a team spirit in you because you can very rarely ever do it all on your own
A team effort to achieve a collective purpose
Can't believe it's taken me this long to get back into playing basketball. Absolutely love playing again.
- Mark JamesThought it would be hard to get into but everyone made me feel nice and welcome. Now m game has improved a lot.
- Denise BrackardNo big egos, no show boating, just a load of mates, playing hoops. ACE!
- Darnell WithersThe basketball's great, but making friends and socialising has been even better.
- Fari DashtgardIt's kinda nice to just turn up and play. No drills, no shouting, just basketball.
- Lee JosephThese are the St Paul's Sonics, official basketball team. We play in the WEBBA league and have official matches with referees and uniforms - the whole shebang!
There is a monthly subscription of £20.00 to join the team - that includes the cost of all practice sessions and scrimmages, official matches, WEBBA and EBL membership.
These members pay a one off fee for block practice sessions - these are the players who want to practice regularly but can't commit to a full season in the first team. Players from the regulars can be selected into the first team to play official WEBBA matches and only have to pay a one off match fee.
PThe reserve team is for members who only come to the practice sessions on an ad hoc basis and cannot commit to regular games. They pay before they play as it were.
The reserve team members can become regular members at any time by simply registering for the next available block of practice sessions.

Its difficult these days to find a ready release for all the stresses of life - the gym is too isolated, jogging is boring and all those game sessions just don't quite get it out the system...
St Paul's Sonics offers the unique opportunity of increasing basic fitness, learning the game of basketball and socialising with a wide range of people from different backgrounds and works of life.
There is no getting round it we play hard!!
The joy of the game is in the competition and we push ourselves to be better players. The focus is on actual game play (not drills or coaching) so our improvement comes from learning from each other and taking tips to improve our game.
Games are quite fluid so everyone will get court time and in between play you get to chat and make friends with a wide variety of people from all sorts of different backgrounds.
All skill sets are welcome and if you are just learning the game of course we'll make go easy on you and help you along, but as soon as you get good, you're on your own!
There are various levels of membership depending on your level of interest click the sign up tab to join

dunk@spsonics.comWe are looking at starting mixed practice sessions for guys and gals and possibly a women's team at some point.
We will look at proper coaching for these sessions in the hopes of eventually being able to register the teams for official competitions.
Please join our mailing list if you are interested and we will announce as soon as these sessions are available.
