Schools

 

Primary

Most of our players come to us through the primary school route as often this is where our members get their first experience of basketball.

We maintain a strong link with Bishopton Primary School as we've done since the Club was founded. Bishopton Basketball Club coaches have been and continue to be involved in organising and training the school teams as part of our commitment to the community and the promotion of basketball. These coaches devote their time voluntarily and claim no fee for this service.

Another tangible demonstration of our support for school basketball can be seen in the various primary school tournaments we have hosted through the years. These events have proved immensely popular with the children, often giving the first indications of emerging talent. Players from the following local primary schools have all enjoyed a taste of competitive basketball courtesy of the Broncos: Bargarran, Barsail, Bishopton, Inchinnan, Kirklandneuk, Rashielea and St. James.

Anyone doubting the enthusiasm of our young people for sport and in particular, basketball in the Renfrewshire area would do well to pay a visit to one of the Broncos' tournaments. As the following photos show, their concerns would very quickly disappear.

Secondary

We also have a natural association with Park Mains High School in Erskine as many of our members are pupils there.

In 2010 we were delighted to present a cheque for £100 to the Park Mains Senior Girls Basketball Team as a contribution to much needed team kit. Later in the year we also supported the Park Mains 6th Year Leavers to the tune of £120 by taking a page of the Leavers' Yearbook to pass on the club's good wishes to those leaving school at the end of the academic year.
