Portsmouth Force has once again been recognised at the highest level — crowned Basketball England’s Southern Region Community Club of the Year 2024.
This marks the second year in a row that the club has taken home this prestigious award, a testament to the unwavering commitment of our players, coaches, volunteers, families, and supporters.

At Portsmouth Force, serving the community is more than a mission — it’s our identity. This recognition shines a light on everything we’ve worked for over the past 12 months: to grow the game, build a more inclusive space, and open doors for people of all ages and abilities to get involved in basketball.

? Key milestones this season include:
• ✅ Female participation more than doubled
• ✅ SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) sessions launched
• ✅ International partnership with Urbond, taking Force to Guinea, West Africa
• ✅ Expansion of our National League programme, adding another team to our development pathway

This award isn’t just for the club — it belongs to everyone who has helped shape our journey. Whether you’re on the court, in the stands, or supporting us behind the scenes, this is your win too.
