Basketball was invented in a YMCA gymnasium in Massachusetts, USA, as a sport that could be played by everybody, was easy to learn, used skill rather than strength, was non contact and could be played indoors in a limited space. The invention could be called very successful as now it is one of the most popular sports in the world and also one of the most widely viewed.

An hour of basketball is a great workout and will burn up to 750 calories, build up endurance and muscle and develop concentration. Being primarily an indoor sport it can be played all year round. Basketball is great fun to play.

All our sports halls have basketball facilities and some have resident clubs.

Aquaterra members have booking privileges and enjoy discount prices.

Basketball will usually feature in our holiday programmes and after school children’s activities.
