ABOUT SHARKS

ABOUT SHARKS

London Sharks Sports Club was founded in 2021. The core purpose of our club is to offer equal opportunities to people who want to play basketball and volleyball regardless of their race, age, or level of ability. Our prominent belief, which we strive to perfect, is that by engaging youth in a team sport, their personal and social development is aided. In turn, this creates a better community for them to inhabit. The club has evolved from its original title of ‘London Giants’, with members actively participating in developing efficaciously successful teams – based on our ethos of friendship and professionalism. With a dedicated technical team and the support of key partners, we have developed core competencies that separate us from other clubs in London, allowing us to strive for a great future.

OUR VISION

London Sharks endeavours to see more people involved in team sports like basketball and volleyball. We strive to create a unique community that bonds with and supports each other under any circumstance – as a family would. We encourage people aged eight and over to start playing with guidance and will make sure to facilitate their interest in sports throughout their journey at London Sharks.

WHY CHOOSE US?

Besides our united community, which is both friendly and caring, we have gained the help of key partners along the way, such as Basketball England, The Council, LSBU, and several local schools in the area. With their great support, we have been able to further the interests of those with a passion for sports. This allows members to benefit from the support and structure needed to develop their ambitions in a safe and professional environment. Furthermore, the support of established businesses enables us to be prominent and proactive at the heart of our local community.

PROSPECTS

We plan to increase members within our Sports Club and create more opportunities for them to compete at multiple levels, such as county, regional, national, and even international sporting events. We will manage this club in a way that produces a well-bonded, integrated community constantly striving to improve themselves and spread the joy of sports all around.
