About Us

Established in New Milton, Hampshire in 1998.  The Blackhawks have been developing basketball talent to compete at local,  EBL, BUCS and National League level.

Our History

Founded in 1998 as the New Milton Blackhawks, our club has a rich history of developing exceptional young basketball players and the next generation of coaches. Many of our alumni have gone on to achieve great success in British basketball. We prioritize creating a supportive and inclusive community where players can thrive, build strong bonds, and contribute to the growth of basketball in the UK.

As we gear up for our first competitive season in the South West, our members currently engage in an internal basketball competition. This program provides a valuable learning experience, focusing on honing fundamental skills while simulating real-game scenarios. Players have the unique opportunity to develop a well-rounded understanding of the game by actively participating as players, referees, scorekeepers, and coaches.

Fundraising

The Blackhawks Basketball Club is dedicated to supporting Bone Cancer Research in memory of our cherished friend and former player, Will Carling. Tragically lost to a rare form of bone cancer, Will’s memory inspires our ongoing commitment to fundraising for this vital cause. The club and players have organized numerous events in his honour. To amplify our efforts, we have renamed our annual inter-club charity event the Will Carling Classic, aiming to raise substantial funds and contribute to the fight against this devastating disease.
