Birmingham Bullets Basketball Academy To Re-Open

One of the most feared names in British basketball has re-emerged from the ashes. In the 90's, the name of the Birmingham Bullets meant playing against some of the most talented athletes in the UK. The development program churned out player after player every year. Since its demise, talented players had nowhere to develop their skills and a lot fell out of the sport.

Now the new Team Birmingham Bullets is relaunching the most innovative program seen in the UK for many years. It's hoped that the Academy will then launch a team of U23's into the National League in 2010/11 and a full time pro team in 2012/13.

The Bullets have now joined forces with Northwood Basketball Club in Stoke-on-Trent. The club will now act as a Regional Centre of Excellence for the Bullets and part of the Academy system that's being implemented.

 

Bullets Move To Stoke-on-Trent

The Birmingham Bullets are relocating to Fenton Manor Sports Complex, Stoke-on-Trent for the forseeable future. The move has been caused by the Birmingham A's complaining to England Basketball about the team playing in Birmingham.

"EB have been very understanding and asked us to find another venue to play home games. All the venues in Birmingham with 250 people capacity are taken so we've come to a 2000 seater arena that wants basketball played here, rather than get involved in the petty politics of Birmingham basketball" said Bullets Head Coach Des Williams.

The next home game is Feb 6th at Fenton Manor, tip off at 2pm
