Melton Kings Basketball Club's new season is around the corner and work is underway to make this one of the best seasons we have had. As a community club, our aim is to provide basketball for the people of Melton Mowbray, and our club is set up to reflect this.
So what do we offer? We offer basketball practice and competitive games for Men, Women, Juniors and an inclusive basketball session.
