Staffordshire University Sports - Women's Basketball Club

Welcome to the Staffs Scorchers! After a successful two years of recruitment for our club, the team have seen a overall resurgence leading to a massive achievement of back to back wins in Varsity against Keele. We are pleased to be competing in the BUCS league for our third year! We are excited for the growth of the club, working closely with Staffs Stealers to be able to provide competitive basketball for both genders.
