about us

A Community Created From Humble Beginnings: Rooted in New Milton Since 1998

Founded in the heart of the New Forest in 1998, the Blackhawks have grown from humble beginnings into a premier hub for both junior and senior basketball development.

history

The Blackhawks proudly support the Bone Cancer Research Trust in memory of our cherished friend and former player, Will Carling. To honour his legacy and raise vital funds to fight this disease, we host ongoing fundraising events, including our annual inter-club charity tournament, renamed the Will Carling Classic.

The Blackhawks Philosophy

The Blackhawks brand represents a unified standard of basketball excellence across all of our teams. We believe basketball is more than just a sport—it is a powerful tool for personal development, discipline, and community. Every team operating under the Blackhawks umbrella shares the same core foundation: a commitment to structured growth, a culture of mutual respect, and a safe environment where athletes can thrive. Our overarching mission is to elevate the game at every level, delivering consistent, high-quality coaching and competitive opportunities that challenge our players to reach their full potential both on the court and as leaders in the community.

Safeguarding

To ensure a safe environment, all coaching staff are fully DBS checked and certified in safeguarding. This ensures our players are always coached with expertise, integrity, and care.

Supportive Community

Built on shared passion and lifelong friendships, we are more than a club—we are a family.
